Statistical Physics and Complexity Group meeting
Statistics at the tip of a branching random walk and simple models of evolution with selection
- Event time: 11:30am
- Event date: 3rd July 2013
- Speaker: Professor Bernard Derrida (Collège de France, Paris, France.)
- Location: Room 2511, James Clerk Maxwell Building (JCMB) James Clerk Maxwell Building Peter Guthrie Tait Road Edinburgh EH9 3FD GB
Event details
In the first part of the talk I will discuss the distribution of the rightmost particles of a branching Brownian motion, which can be understood in terms of the Fisher-KPP equations. I will also describe simple models of evolution with selection, which are related to the noisy F-KPP equation.
