Consider a system of particles performing branching Brownian motion with negative drift $\mu= \sqrt{2 - \varepsilon}$ and killed upon hitting zero. Initially there is one particle at x>0. Kesten (Stoch. Process. Appl. 7:9–47, 1978) showed that the process survives with positive probability if and only if ε>0. Here we are interested in the asymptotics as ε→0 of the survival probability Qμ(x). It is proved that if $L=\pi/\sqrt{\varepsilon}$ then for all x∈ℝ, lim ε→0Qμ(L+x)=θ(x)∈(0,1) exists and…

We consider branching Brownian motion on the real line with the following selection mechanism: every time the number of particles exceeds a (large) given number N, only the N right-most particles are

We consider one-dimensional branching Brownian motion in which particles are absorbed at the origin. We assume that when a particle branches, the offspring distribution is supercritical, but the

In this thesis, branching Brownian motion (BBM) is a random particle system where the particles diffuse on the real line according to Brownian motions and branch at constant rate into a random number

We consider a system of N particles with a stochastic dynamics introduced by Brunet and Derrida [5]. The particles can be interpreted as last passage times in directed percolation on {1, . . . , N}

### Branching Brownian motion in an expanding ball and application to the mild obstacle problem

We first consider a d-dimensional branching Brownian motion (BBM) evolving in an expanding ball, where the particles are killed at the boundary of the ball, and the expansion is subdiffusive in time.

Out of simplicity, we restrict ourselves to consider the dyadic brownian branching process (Nt, t ∈ R+) on the real line. By definition of this process, its particles perform independent brownian
