Non-linear Fisher travelling waves and boundary effects : the survival probability of a population of branching random walks

Statistical Physics and Complexity Group meeting

Non-linear Fisher travelling waves and boundary effects : the survival probability of a population of branching random walks

  • Event time: 3:00pm
  • Event date: 9th July 2009
  • Speaker: Damien Simon (University of Edinburgh)
  • Location: Room 4309,

Event details

In this second talk, I will show an exact duality between Fisher travelling waves and branching random walks. I will then use it to study the transition to extinction of branching random walks in presence of absorbing boundaries and show how the essential singularities can be described.
