  • On the Dynamic Likelihood Approach to Data Assimilation for Stochastic Hyperbolic Geophysical Processes

    Creator:
    Foster, Dallas A.
    Abstract:
    Many geophysical phenomena exhibit complicated dynamics that, due to a variety of factors, diverge quickly from physical models. The arrival of new observations allows researchers to combine the model estimate with measurements in a statistical process called data assimilation to produce a revised estimate of the phenomenon. This assimilation of...

  • Branching Brownian Motion with One Absorbing and One Reflecting Boundary

    Creator:
    Felder, William F.
    Abstract:
    In this work we will analyze branching Brownian motion on a finite interval with oneabsorbing and one reflecting boundary, having constant drift rate toward the absorbingboundary. Similar processes have been considered by Kesten ([12]), and more recently byHarris, Hesse, and Kyprianou ([11]). The current offering is motivated largely by the...
