Fluctuations for fully pushed stochastic fronts

Alison Etheridge, Raphaël Forien, Thomas Hughes +1

We study the asymptotic behaviour, in the small noise limit, of stochastic travelling wave solutions to reaction-diffusion equations perturbed by Wright-Fisher noise. Such equation…

Convergence and front position for an FKPP-type free boundary problem

Julien Berestycki, Sarah Penington, Oliver Tough

The free boundary problem\[ \begin{cases} \partial_tu=\frac{1}{2}Δu+u,\quad &t>0, \, x>L_t,\\ u(t,x)=0,\quad &t>0,\, x\le L_t,\\ \int_{L_t}^{\infty}u(t,y)dy=1,\quad &t> 0,\\ u(t,x)…

Branching random walk with non-local competition

Pascal Maillard, Sarah Penington

We study the Bolker-Pacala-Dieckmann-Law (BPDL) model of population dynamics in the regime of large population density. The BPDL model is a particle system in which particles repro…

A branching process with deletions and mergers that matches the threshold for hypercube percolation

Laura Eslava, Sarah Penington, Fiona Skerman

We define a graph process based on a discrete branching process with deletions and mergers, which is inspired by the 4-cycle structure of both the hypercube $Q_d…

Genealogy and spatial distribution of the -particle branching random walk with polynomial tails

Sarah Penington, Matthew I. Roberts, Zsófia Talyigás

The -particle branching random walk is a discrete time branching particle system with selection. We have particles located on the real line at all times. At every time step…

Genealogies in bistable waves

Alison Etheridge, Sarah Penington

We study a model of selection acting on a diploid population (one in which each individual carries two copies of each gene) living in one spatial dimension. We suppose a particular…

Brownian bees in the infinite swarm limit

Julien Berestycki, Eric Brunet, James Nolen +1

The Brownian bees model is a branching particle system with spatial selection. It is a system of particles which move as independent Brownian motions in and inde…

A free boundary problem arising from branching Brownian motion with selection

Julien Berestycki, Éric Brunet, James Nolen +1

We study a free boundary problem for a parabolic partial differential equation in which the solution is coupled to the moving boundary through an integral constraint. The problem a…

Global existence for a free boundary problem of Fisher-KPP type

Julien Berestycki, Eric Brunet, Sarah Penington

Motivated by the study of branching particle systems with selection, we establish global existence for the solution of the free boundary problem \[ \begin{cases} \partial_t…

Branching Brownian motion with decay of mass and the non-local Fisher-KPP equation

Louigi Addario-Berry, Julien Berestycki, Sarah Penington

In this work we study a non-local version of the Fisher-KPP equation, \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} \frac{\partial u}{\partial t}=\tfrac{1}{2}Δu +u (1- ϕ\ast u), \quad t>0, \quad…

The spreading speed of solutions of the non-local Fisher-KPP equation

Sarah Penington

We consider the Fisher-KPP equation with a non-local interaction term. Hamel and Ryzhik showed that in solutions of this equation, the front location at a large time is $\sqrt…

Branching Brownian Motion, mean curvature flow and the motion of hybrid zones

Alison Etheridge, Nic Freeman, Sarah Penington

We provide a probabilistic proof of a well known connection between a special case of the Allen-Cahn equation and mean curvature flow. We then prove a corresponding result for scal…

A central limit theorem for the spatial Lambda Fleming-Viot process with selection

Raphaël Forien, Sarah Penington

We study the evolution of gene frequencies in a population living in , modelled by the spatial Lambda Fleming-Viot process with natural selection (Barton, Etheridge a…

math.PR2015

Branching Brownian motion and Selection in the Spatial Lambda-Fleming-Viot Process

Alison Etheridge, Nic Freeman, Sarah Penington +1

We ask the question "when will natural selection on a gene in a spatially structured population cause a detectable trace in the patterns of genetic variation observed in the contem…

The front location in BBM with decay of mass

Louigi Addario-Berry, Sarah Penington

We augment standard branching Brownian motion by adding a competitive interaction between nearby particles. Informally, when particles are in competition, the local resources are i…
