From Brownian Motion with a Local Time Drift to Feller’s Branching Diffusion with Logistic Growth
نویسندگان
چکیده
We give a new proof for a Ray-Knight representation of Feller’s branching diffusion with logistic growth in terms of the local times of a reflected Brownian motion H with a drift that is affine linear in the local time accumulated by H at its current level. In [5], such a representation was obtained by an approximation through Harris paths that code the genealogies of particle systems. The present proof is purely in terms of stochastic analysis, and is inspired by previous work of Norris, Rogers and Williams [7].

From exploration paths to mass excursions – variations on a theme of Ray and Knight
Based on an intuitive approach to the Ray-Knight representation of Feller’s branching diffusion in terms of Brownian excursions we survey a few recent developments around exploration and mass excursions. One of these is Bertoin’s “tree of alleles with rare mutations” [6], seen as a tree of excursions of Feller’s branching diffusion. Another one is a model of a population with individual reprodu...
متن کامل“Trees under attack”: a Ray–Knight representation of Feller’s branching diffusion with logistic growth
We obtain a representation of Feller’s branching diffusion with logistic growth in terms of the local times of a reflected Brownian motion H with a drift that is affine linear in the local time accumulated by H at its current level. As in the classical Ray–Knight representation, the excursions of H are the exploration paths of the trees of descendants of the ancestors at time t = 0, and the loc...
متن کاملFinite time extinction of super-Brownian motions with catalysts
Consider a catalytic super-Brownian motion X = X with finite variance branching. Here “catalytic” means that branching of the reactant X is only possible in the presence of some catalyst. Our intrinsic example of a catalyst is a stable random measure Γ on R of index 0 < γ < 1. Consequently, here the catalyst is located in a countable dense subset of R. Starting with a finite reactant mass X0 su...
متن کاملBranching Brownian Motion with “mild” Poissonian Obstacles
We study a spatial branching model, where the underlying motion is Brownian motion and the branching is affected by a random collection of reproduction blocking sets called mild obstacles. We show that the quenched local growth rate is given by the branching rate in the ‘free’ region . When the underlying motion is an arbitrary diffusion process, we obtain a dichotomy for the local growth that ...

We study a spatial branching model, where the underlying motion is d-dimensional (d ≥ 1) Brownian motion and the branching rate is affected by a random collection of reproduction suppressing sets dubbed mild obstacles. We show that the quenched local growth rate is given by the branching rate in the ‘free’ region. We obtain the asymptotics (in probability) of the quenched global growth rates fo...
