We consider a continuous-time random walk in the quarter plane for which the transition intensities are constant on each of the four faces $(0,\infty)^2$, $F_1=\{0\}\times(0,\infty)$, $F_2=(0,\infty)\times\{0\}$ and $\{(0,0)\}$. We show…

We study the maximum of Branching Brownian motion (BBM) with branching rates that vary in space, via a periodic function of a particle's location. This corresponds to a variant of the F-KPP equation in a periodic medium, extensively studied…

We consider a Fisher-KPP equation with nonlinear selection driven by a Poisson random measure. We prove that the equation admits a unique wave speed $ \mathfrak{s}> 0 $ given by $\frac{\mathfrak{s}^{2}}{2} = \int_{[0, 1]}\frac{ \log{(1 +…
