We study survival of nearest-neighbor branching random walks in random environment (BRWRE) on ℤ. A priori there are three different regimes of survival: global survival, local survival, and strong local survival. We show that local and strong local survival regimes coincide for BRWRE and that they can be characterized with the spectral radius of the first moment matrix of the process. These results are generalizations of the classification of BRWRE in recurrent and transient regimes. Our main…

Survival and Growth of a Branching Random Walk in Random Environment

We consider a particular Branching Random Walk in Random Environment (BRWRE) on $\sN_0$ started with one particle at the origin. Particles reproduce according to an offspring distribution (which…

Survival, Extinction and Approximation of Discrete-time Branching Random Walks

We consider a general discrete-time branching random walk on a countable set X. We relate local, strong local and global survival with suitable inequalities involving the first-moment matrix M of the…

Recent results on branching random walks

This paper is a collection of recent results on discrete-time and continuous-time branching random walks. Some results are new and others are known. Many aspects of this theory are considered: local,…

We consider branching random walks in random environment (BRWRE) on ℕ with only one particle starting at the origin. Particles reproduce according to offspring distribution (which depends on its…

Strong Local Survival of Branching Random Walks is Not Monotone

In this paper we study the strong local survival property for discrete-time and continuous-time branching random walks. We study this property by means of an infinite-dimensional generating function…

Intermittency for branching random walk in Pareto environment

We consider a branching random walk on the lattice, where the branching rates are given by an i.i.d. Pareto random potential. We describe the process, including a detailed shape theorem, in terms of…

We consider the long-time behaviour of a branching random walk in random environment on the lattice  $\mathbb{Z}^d$. The migration of particles proceeds according to simple random walk in continuous…

Quenched invariance principles for the maximal particle in branching random walk in random environment and the parabolic Anderson model

We consider branching random walk in spatial random branching environment (BRWRE) in dimension one, as well as related differential equations: the Fisher-KPP equation with random branching and its…

Frogs and Branching Random Walks

We study two interacting random walk models. One is the frog model on Z^d with drift. For d>=2 we show the existence of recurrent and transient regimes. For d=1 we discuss the speed of the minimum…

We study branching random walks in random i.i.d. environment in $\Z^d, d \geq 1$. For this model, the population size cannot decrease, and a natural definition of recurrence is introduced. We prove a…

We study branching random walks in random environment on the $d$-dimensional square lattice, $d \geq 1$. In this model, the environment has finite range dependence, and the population size cannot…

A criterion for transience of multidimensional branching random walk in random environment

We develop a criterion for transience for a general model of branching Markov chains. In the case of multi-dimensional branching random walk in random environment (BRWRE) this criterion becomes…

Characterization of Critical Values of Branching Random Walks on Weighted Graphs through Infinite-Type Branching Processes

We study the branching random walk on weighted graphs; site-breeding and edge-breeding branching random walks on graphs are seen as particular cases. Two kinds of survival can be identified: a weak…

One-dimensional branching random walks in a Markovian random environment

Limit Theorems for Branching Processes in a Random Environment

In this paper, growth of branching processes in random environment is considered. In particular it is shown that this process either "explodes" at an exponential rate or else becomes extinct w.p. 1.…
