We consider the branching random walk in random environment with a random absorption wall. When we add this barrier, we discuss some topics related to the survival probability. We assume that the random environment is i.i.d., $S_i$ is a…

We consider random walks in Dirichlet environment (RWDE) on $\Z ^d$, for $ d \geq 3 $, in the sub-ballistic case. We associate to any parameter $ (\alpha_1, ..., \alpha_{2d}) $ of the Dirichlet law a time-change to accelerate the walk. We…

Let $\{X_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence of i.i.d. random variables in $\mathbb{Z}^d$. Let $S_k=X_1+...+X_k$ and $Y_n(t)$ be the continuous process on $[0,1]$ for which $Y_n(k/n)=S_k/\sqrt{n}$ $k=1,...,n$ and which is linearly…

We investigate branching processes in nearly degenerate varying environment, where the offspring distribution converges to the degenerate distribution at 1. Such processes die out almost surely, therefore, we condition on non-extinction or…

Let $G$ be an infinite, locally finite graph. We investigate the relation between supercritical, transient branching random walk and the Martin boundary of its underlying random walk. We show results regarding the typical asymptotic…

Let ${Z_{n},n\geq 0} $ be a critical branching process in random environment and let $T$ be its moment of extinction. Under the annealed approach we prove, as $n\to \infty ,$ a limit theorem for the number of particles in the process at…

In \cite{SzT}, D. Sz\'asz and A. Telcs have shown that for the diffusively scaled, simple symmetric random walk, weak convergence to the Brownian motion holds even in the case of local impurities if $d \ge 2$. The extension of their result…

We consider a continuous-time branching random walk on $\mathbb{Z}$ in a random non homogeneous environment. Particles can walk on the lattice points or disappear with random intensities. The process starts with one particle at initial time…

The long-term behavior of a supercritical branching random walk can be described and analyzed with the help of Biggins' martingales, parametrized by real or complex numbers. The study of these martingales with complex parameters is a rather…

We consider a continuous-time branching random walk in the inhomogeneous breeding potential $\beta|.|^p$, where $\beta > 0$, $p \geq 0$. We prove that the population almost surely explodes in finite time if $p > 1$ and doesn't explode if $p…
