    Survival of branching Brownian motion in a uniform trap field
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2016) N/A; Department of Mathematics; Öz, Mehmet; PhD Student; Department of Mathematics; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; N/A
    We study a branching Brownian motion Z evolving in R-d, where a uniform field of Poissonian traps are present. We consider a general offspring distribution for Z and find the asymptotic decay rate of the annealed survival probability, conditioned on non-extinction. The method of proof is to use a skeleton decomposition for the Galton-Watson process underlying Z and to show that the particles of finite line of descent do not contribute to the survival asymptotics. This work is a follow-up to Oz and Caglar (2013) and solves the problem considered therein completely.

    Conditional speed of branching brownian motion, skeleton decomposition and application to random obstacles
    (Institute Henri Poincaré (IHP), 2017) Englander, Janos; Department of Mathematics; Öz, Mehmet; Çağlar, Mine; PhD. Student; Faculty Member; Department of Mathematics; College of Sciences; N/A; 105131
    We study a branching Brownian motion Z in Rd, among obstacles scattered according to a Poisson random measure with a radially decaying intensity. Obstacles are balls with constant radius and each one works as a trap for the whole motion when hit by a particle. Considering a general offspring distribution, we derive the decay rate of the annealed probability that none of the particles of Z hits a trap, asymptotically in time t. This proves to be a rich problem motivating the proof of a more general result about the speed of branching Brownian motion conditioned on non-extinction. We provide an appropriate "skeleton" decomposition for the underlying Galton-Watson process when supercritical and show that the "doomed" particles do not contribute to the asymptotic decay rate.

    Tail probability of avoiding Poisson traps for branching Brownian motion
    (Elsevier, 2013) Department of Mathematics; Öz, Mehmet; Çağlar, Mine; PhD. Student; Faculty Member; Department of Mathematics; College of Sciences; N/A; 105131
    We consider a branching Brownian motion Z with exponential branching times and general offspring distribution evolving in R-d, where Poisson traps are present. A Poisson trap configuration with radius a is defined to be the random subset K of R-d given by K = boolean OR(x)l(,is an element of supp)(M) (B) over bar (x(i), a), where M is a Poisson random measure on B(R-d) with constant trap intensity. Survival up to time t is defined to be the event {T > t) with T = inf{s >= 0 : Z(s)(K) > 0} being the first trapping time. Following the work of Englander (2000), Englander and den Hollander (2003), where strictly dyadic branching is considered, we consider here a general offspring distribution for Z and settle the problem of survival asymptotics for the system.
