Responsive dormancy in the Parabolic Anderson Model (PAM)
We study a two-type branching random walk in a random environment modeling dormancy and activity. Individuals switch states in response to a moving trap, modeled by a symmetric random walk. Using the Feynman-Kac formula and the parabolic Anderson model, we quantify how responsive dormancy influences long-term survival and population growth.
