Homogenization of a singular random one-dimensional PDE

Bogdan Iftimie, Étienne Pardoux, Andrey Piatnitski (2008)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Similarity:

This paper deals with the homogenization problem for a one-dimensional parabolic PDE with random stationary mixing coefficients in the presence of a large zero order term. We show that under a proper choice of the scaling factor for the said zero order terms, the family of solutions of the studied problem converges in law, and describe the limit process. It should be noted that the limit dynamics remain random.

On the Maximum of a Branching Process Conditioned on the Total Progeny

Kerbashev, Tzvetozar (1999)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

The maximum M of a critical Bienaymé-Galton-Watson process conditioned on the total progeny N is studied. Imbedding of the process in a random walk is used. A limit theorem for the distribution of M as N → ∞ is proved. The result is trasferred to the non-critical processes. A corollary for the maximal strata of a random rooted labeled tree is obtained.
