Branching processes in random environments constitute a significant class of stochastic models designed to capture the interplay between intrinsic reproductive dynamics and extrinsic environmental ...

Consider an age-dependent branching process with two types of individuals. Suppose that individuals of one type beget children of both types, whereas those of the other type can only give birth to ...

Branching processes form one of the fundamerntal type of stochastic processes and are typically introduced in order to describe population growth. The most fundamental and classical population model ...
