We consider a branching-selection particle system on the real line, introduced by Brunet and Derrida. In this model the size of the population is fixed to a constant $N$. At each step individuals in the population reproduce independently,…

In this paper we consider a nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation with asymptotically small parameters. It describes the diffusion of finite-size particles in the presence of a fixed distribution of obstacles in the limit of low-volume fraction.…

We consider a branching-selection particle system on $\Z$ with $N \geq 1$ particles. During a branching step, each particle is replaced by two new particles, whose positions are shifted from that of the original particle by independently…

The Brownian bees model is a branching particle system with spatial selection. It is a system of $N$ particles which move as independent Brownian motions in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and independently branch at rate 1, and, crucially, at each…

The Branching Brownian Motions (BBM) are particles performing independent Brownian motions in $\mathbb R$ and each particle at rate 1 creates a new particle at her current position; the newborn particle increments and branchings are…

We derive the fully time-dependent solution to a run-and-tumble model for a particle which has tumbling restricted to the boundaries of a one-dimensional interval. This is achieved through a field-theoretic perturbative framework by…

The transition from a microscopic model for the movement of many particles to a macroscopic continuum model for a density flow is studied. The microscopic model for the free flow is completely deterministic, described by an interaction…

We introduce and analyse a continuum model for an interacting particle system of Vicsek type. The model is given by a non-linear kinetic partial differential equation (PDE) describing the time-evolution of the density $f_t$, in the single…

We consider a family of branching-selection particle systems in which particles branch at time dependent rate $r$ and are killed with a probability which is dependent on their rank via some function $\psi$. We show that, under fairly…
