We develop a Perron-Frobenius type theory for products of random quantum channels acting on finite-dimensional matrix algebras sampled from a stationary and ergodic stochastic process, which, in keeping with the literature, we call ergodic…

We consider the motion of a particle on a Galton Watson tree, when the probabilities of jumping from a vertex to any one of its neighbours is determined by a random process. Given the tree, positive weights are assigned to the edges in such…

Let $(Z_n,n\geq 0)$ be a supercritical Galton-Watson process whose offspring distribution $\mu$ has mean $\lambda>1$ and is such that $\int x(\log(x))_+ d\mu(x)<+\infty$. According to the famous Kesten \& Stigum theorem, $(Z_n/\lambda^n)$…

In this paper the Galton Watson branching process has been studied for a class of offspring distributions which are in a way sandwiched between the Bernoulli and Poisson.

We consider the bifurcating Markov chain model introduced by Guyon to detect cellular aging from cell lineage. To take into account the possibility for a cell to die, we use an underlying Galton-Watson process to describe the evolution of…

We consider the asymptotics of various estimators based on a large sample of branching trees from a critical multi-type Galton-Watson process, as the sample size increases to infinity. The asymptotics of additive functions of trees, such as…

The main purpose of this paper of the paper is an explicite construction of generalized Gaussian process with function $t_b(V)=b^{H(V)}$, where $H(V)=n-h(V)$, $h(V)$ is the number of singletons in a pair-partition $V \in \st{P}_2(2n)$. This…

Bisexual Galton-Watson processes are discrete Markov chains where reproduction events are due to mating of males and females. Owing to this interaction, the standard branching property of Galton-Watson processes is lost. We prove tightness…
