Dr Henry Rollin MD, FRCPsych, FRCPsych (Hon), FRCP

Henry Rollin, who died recently at the age of 102, was a medical polymath from a vanished age when psychiatrists had the time and opportunity to develop their skills by way of a wider variety of experience than is possible today.

Some Local Approximations of Dawson – Watanabe

Let ξ be a Dawson–Watanabe superprocess in R such that ξt is a.s. locally finite for every t ≥ 0. Then for d ≥ 2 and fixed t > 0, the singular random measure ξt can be a.s. approximated by suitably normalized restrictions of Lebesgue measure to the ε-neighborhoods of supp ξt. When d ≥ 3, the local distributions of ξt near a hitting point can be approximated in total variation by those of a stat...
