Last year, the U.S. Military Academy applied its first-ever market-based branching model to the cadet branching process. This year, despite the pandemic presenting its own challenges, West Point ...

Let Mn denote the size of the largest amongst the first n generations of a simple branching process. It is shown for near critical processes with a finite offspring variance that the law of Mn/n, ...

Branching processes in random environments constitute a significant class of stochastic models designed to capture the interplay between intrinsic reproductive dynamics and extrinsic environmental ...

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Army completed its fiscal year 2026 talent-based branching (TBB) process for Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) and U.S. Military Academy (USMA) cadets. The TBB process, ...

Consider a time-homogeneous Markov branching process. We construct reduced processes, based on whether the length of line of descent of particles of this process are (a) greater than or (b) at most ...

Our bodies have several systems branching through them, like veins, arteries, and neurons. In the brain, neurons grow together intricately in ways that have been poorly understood. Billions of nerve ...

Branching processes and neutron transport equations represent two interconnected yet distinct areas that lie at the interface of probability theory, statistical physics and applied mathematics.

Our nervous system is composed of billions of neurons that speak to each other through their axons and dendrites. When the human brain develops, these structures branch out in a beautifully intricate, ...

Branching processes form one of the fundamerntal type of stochastic processes and are typically introduced in order to describe population growth. The most fundamental and classical population model ...

So the big news finally came out yesterday; Carl and Phil have moved on over to blogs run by Discover (which also houses Reality Base, Better Planet, 80 Beats, Disco Blog). With Jennifer starting up ...
