OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
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.
