  • 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...

  • Branching random walk and probability problems from physics and biology

    Creator:
    Johnson, Torrey
    Abstract:
    This thesis studies connections between disorder type in tree polymers and the branching random walk and presents an application to swarm site-selection. Chapter two extends results on tree polymers in the infinite volume limit to critical strong disorder. Almost sure (a.s.) convergence in the infinite volume limit is obtained for...

  • Mathematical models of decision processes for dispersing animals

    Creator:
    Brugger, Max F.
    Abstract:
    Each chapter in this expository paper considers a mathematical model of an aspect of animal behavior, and how it affects the patterns of movement across and within a landscape. These models are all directly or indirectly related to questions in either Behavioral Ecology or Landscape Ecology, or both. I first...
