Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
We are interested in a population model called continuous-state branching process with dependent immigration (CBDI-processes). The immigration rate of the model depends on the current population size via a function that can be non-Lipschitz. We give a construction of the process using a stochastic equation driven by Poisson point measures on some path spaces. This approach gives a direct construction of the sample path of the process with general branching and immigration mechanisms from those of the corresponding CB-process without immigration. By choosing the ingredients suitably, we can get either a new CB-process with different branching mechanism or a branching model with competition. We focus on the one-dimensional model, but the arguments carry over to the measure-valued setting. These kinds of constructions have been proved useful for the study of some financial problems.
