We consider the Busemann process in planar directed first passage percolation. We extend existing techniques to establish the existence of the process in our setting and determine its distribution in a number of integrable models. As…

Given a reaction-advection-diffusion system modelling the sulphation phenomenon, we derive a single regularised non-conservative and path-dependent nonlinear partial differential equation and propose a probabilistic interpretation via a…

We study the connections existing between max-infinitely divisible distributions and Poisson processes from the point of view of functional analysis. More precisely, we derive functional identities for the former by using well-known results…

Consider a branching Markov process, $X = (X(t), t \ge 0)$, with non-local branching mechanism. Studying the asymptotic behaviour of the moments of X has recently received attention in the literature [6, 7] due to the importance of these…

We call a random point measure infinitely ramified if for every $n\in \mathbb N$, it has the same distribution as the $n$-th generation of some branching random walk. On the other hand, branching L\'evy processes model the evolution of a…

Let $K$ be an algebraic number field. We construct an additive Markov process $X_t^{K_\mathbb A}$ on the ring of adeles $K_\mathbb A,$ whose coordinates $X_t^{(v)}$ are independent and use this process to give a probabilistic interpretation…

Markov chains are a natural and well understood tool for describing one-dimensional patterns in time or space. We show how to infer $k$-th order Markov chains, for arbitrary $k$, from finite data by applying Bayesian methods to both…

The present paper originated from our previous study of the problem of harmonic analysis on the infinite symmetric group. This problem leads to a family {P_z} of probability measures, the z-measures, which depend on the complex parameter z.…

Linear fractional Galton-Watson branching processes in i.i.d.~random environment are, on the quenched level, intimately connected to random difference equations by the evolution of the random parameters of their linear fractional marginals.…

We consider consistent diffusion dynamics, leaving the celebrated Hua-Pickrell measures, depending on a complex parameter $s$, invariant. These, give rise to Feller-Markov processes on the infinite dimensional boundary $\Omega$ of the…

In this paper, we solve explicitly the optimal stopping problem with random discounting and an additive functional as cost of observations for a regular linear diffusion. We also extend the results to the class of one-sided regular Feller…

The transition matrix of a Markov chain $(X_k,k\geq 0)$ on a finite or infinite rooted tree is said to be almost upper-directed if, given $X_k$, the node $X_{k+1}$ is either a descendant of $X_k$ or the parent of $X_k$. It is said to be…

A Markov Additive Process is a bi-variate Markov process $(\xi,J)=\big((\xi_t,J_t),t\geq0\big)$ which should be thought of as a multi-type L\'evy process: the second component $J$ is a Markov chain on a finite space $\{1,\ldots,K\}$, and…
