Waiting times for particles in a branching Brownian motion to reach the rightmost position

چکیده

We consider a branching Brownian motion (BBM) on the real line R, which evolves as follows. Starting at time t = 0, one particle located at 0, called the root, moves like a standard Brownian motion until an independent exponentially distributed time with parameter 1. At this time it splits into two particles, which, relative to their birth time and position, behave like independent copies of their parent, thus moving like Brownian motions and branching at rate 1 into two copies of themselves. Let N (t) denote the set of all particles alive at time t and let N(t) := #N (t). For any v ∈ N (t) let Xv(t) be the position of v at time t; and for any s < t, let Xv(s) be the position of the unique ancestor of v that was alive at time s. We define R(t) := max u∈N (t) Xu(t) and L(t) := min u∈N (t) Xu(t),

An invariance principle for the edge of the branching exclusion process

We consider the one dimensional nearest neighbor branching exclusion process with initial configurations having a rightmost particle. We prove that, conveniently resealed, the position of the rightmost particle (edge) converges to a nondegenerate Brownian motion. Convergence to a convex combination of measures concentrating on the full and empty configurations at the average position of the edg...

The Center of Mass for Spatial Branching Processes and an Application for Self-interaction

Consider the center of mass of a supercritical branching-Brownian motion, or that of a supercritical super-Brownian motion. In this paper we prove that it is a Brownian motion being slowed down such that it tends to a limiting position almost surely, which, in a sense complements a result of Tribe on the final behavior of a critical super-Brownian motion. This is shown to be true also for a mod...

Mixed convection on radiative unsteady Casson ferrofluid flow due to cone with Brownian motion and thermophoresis: A numerical study

In this study, the Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects on the MHD ferrofluid flow over a cone with thermal radiation were discussed. Kerosene with the magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4) was considered. A set of transformed governing nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations were solved numerically using Runge-Kutta based shooting technique. A simulation was performed by mixing ferrou...

Preparation of MCM-41 nanofluid and an investigation of Brownian movement of the nanoparticles on the nanofluid conductivity

In this investigation the silicate nano structure of MCM-41 has been used for the production of nanofluid. The particles have negligible heat conductivity and therefore by their dispersion in a base fluid like water, it is possible to study the increase of heat conductivity due to the Brownian motion effects. In this work a suitable apparatus for the measurement of heat conductivity has been bu...

The Effects of Different SDE Calculus on Dynamics of Nano-Aerosols Motion in Two Phase Flow Systems

Langevin equation for a nano-particle suspended in a laminar fluid flow was analytically studied. The Brownian motion generated from molecular bombardment was taken as a Wiener stochastic process and approximated by a Gaussian white noise. Euler-Maruyama method was used to solve the Langevin equation numerically. The accuracy of Brownian simulation was checked by performing a series of simulati...
