We investigate the long-time evolution of branching diffusion processes (starting with a finite number of particles) in inhomogeneous media. The qualitative behavior of the processes depends on the intensity of the branching. In the…

We prove a Carleman estimate for a one-dimensional parabolic equation which degenerates at one extremity of the domain and has a bounded, time dependent coefficient multiplying the diffusion term. Then we use the estimate to show the null…

We consider a terminal control problem for processes governed by a nonlinear system of fractional ODEs. In order to show existence of the control, we first consider the linear counterpart of the system and reprove a number of classical…

We study an optimal control problem of McKean--Vlasov branching diffusion processes, in which the interaction term is determined by the marginal measure induced by all alive particles in the system. Accordingly, the value function is…
