We study a model of a branching process subject to selection, modeled by giving each family an individual fitness acting as a branching rate, and mutation, modeled by resampling the fitness of a proportion of offspring in each generation.…

Organisms from microbes to humans engage in a variety of social behaviors, which affect fitness in complex, often nonlinear ways. The question of how these behaviors evolve has consequences ranging from antibiotic resistance to human…
We study solutions to the evolution equation $u_t=\Delta u-u +\sum_{k\geqslant 1}q_ku^k$, $t>0$, in $\mathbf{R}^d$. Here the coefficients $q_k\geqslant 0$ verify $ \sum_{k\geqslant 1}q_k=1< \sum_{k\geqslant 1}kq_k<\infty$. First, we deal…

We consider a branching model in discrete time where each individual has a trait in some general state space. Both the reproduction law and the trait inherited by the offsprings may depend on the trait of the mother and the environment. We…
