The goal of these lectures is to review some mathematical aspects of random tree models used in evolutionary biology to model gene trees or species trees. We start with stochastic models of tree shapes (finite trees without edge lengths),…

We study Brownian motion on the space of distinct landmarks in $\mathbb{R}^d$, considered as a homogeneous space with a Riemannian metric inherited from a right-invariant metric on the diffeomorphism group. As of yet, there is no proof of…
This paper investigates the pricing of European-style lookback options when the price dynamics of the underlying risky asset are assumed to follow a Markov-modulated Geo-metric Brownian motion; that is, the appreciation rate and the…
Treewidth is a well-known graph invariant with multiple interesting applications in combinatorics. On the practical side, many NP-complete problems are polynomial-time (sometimes even linear-time) solvable on graphs of bounded treewidth. On…
In this paper we propose and study a new complexity model for approximation algorithms. The main motivation are practical problems over large data sets that need to be solved many times for different scenarios, e.g., many multicast trees…
We introduce a new class of forward performance processes that are endogenous and predictable with regards to an underlying market information set and, furthermore, are updated at discrete times. We analyze in detail a binomial model whose…
This paper presents a new estimator of the global regularity index of a multifractional Brownian motion. Our estimation method is based upon a ratio statistic, which compares the realized global quadratic variation of a multifractional…

Biased Brownian motion of point-size particles in a three-dimensional tube with smoothly varying cross-section is investigated. In the fashion of our recent work [Martens et al., PRE 83,051135] we employ an asymptotic analysis to the…

It is well known that path probabilities of Brownian motion correspond to the equilibrium configurational probabilities of flexible Gaussian polymers, while those of active Brownian motion correspond to in-extensible semiflexible polymers.…
We survey Brownian manifolds -- manifolds that can parametrise Brownian motion -- and those that cannot. We consider covariances of space-time processes, particularly those when space is the sphere -- geo-temporal processes. There are…
