Taking the perspective that a concept evolves as an organizing vision for applying an innovation in firms, this chapter addresses one aspect of the evolution: how does the popularity of one concept influence that of the other?

Lévy processes and continuous - state branching processes : part I

Let us begin by recalling the definition of two familiar processes, a Brownian motion and a Poisson process. A real-valued process B = {B t : t ≥ 0} defined on a probability space (Ω, F , P) is said to be a Brownian motion if the following hold: (i) The paths of B are P-almost surely continuous. (ii) P(B 0 = 0) = 1. (iii) For 0 ≤ s ≤ t, B t − B s is equal in distribution to B t−s. (iv) For 0 ≤ ...
