Let $N(t)$ be the collection of particles alive at time $t$ in a branching Brownian motion in $\mathbb{R}^d$, and for $u\in N(t)$, let $\mathbf{X}_u(t)$ be the position of particle $u$ at time $t$. For $\theta\in \mathbb{R}^d$, we define…

We extend the ideas of (Barbour 1990) and use Stein's method to obtain a bound on the distance between a scaled time-changed random walk and a time-changed Brownian Motion. We then apply this result to bound the distance between a…

Consider a one-dimensional branching Brownian motion, and rescale the coordinate and time so that the rates of branching and diffusion are both equal to $1$. If $X_1(t)$ is the position of the rightmost particle of the branching Brownian…

We introduce a flexible method to simultaneously infer both the drift and volatility functions of a discretely observed scalar diffusion. We introduce spline bases to represent these functions and develop a Markov chain Monte Carlo…

In this work we study a non-local version of the Fisher-KPP equation, \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} \frac{\partial u}{\partial t}=\tfrac{1}{2}\Delta u +u (1- \phi \ast u), \quad t>0, \quad x\in \mathbb{R}, u(0,x)=u_0(x), \quad x\in…

We consider branching processes describing structured, interacting populations in continuous time. Dynamics of each individuals characteristics and branching properties can be influenced by the entire population. We propose a Girsanov-type…

We describe a novel approach to statistical learning from particles tracked while moving in a random environment. The problem consists in inferring properties of the environment from recorded snapshots. We consider here the case of a fluid…

The effective diffusion of Brownian particles in periodic potential has been a central topic in nonequilibrium statistical physcis. A classical result is the Lifson formula which provides the effective diffusion constant in periodic…

We revisit the problem of Brownian diffusion with drift in order to study finite-size effects in the geometric Galton-Watson branching process. This is possible because of an exact mapping between one-dimensional random walks and geometric…

Sticky Brownian motion is the simplest example of a diffusion process that can spend finite time both in the interior of a domain and on its boundary. It arises in various applications such as in biology, materials science, and finance.…

In this paper we use the spine decomposition and martingale change of measure to establish a Kesten-Stigum $L\log L$ theorem for branching Hunt processes. This result is a generalization of the results in Asmussen-Hering (1976) and Hering…

In this paper we consider a system of Brownian particles with proliferation whose rate depends on the empirical measure. The dependence is more local than a mean field one and has been called moderate interaction by Oelschlager [17], [18].…
