商品描述

This monograph provides a summary of the basic theory of branching processes for single-type and multi-type processes. Classic examples of population and epidemic models illustrate the probability of population or epidemic extinction obtained from the theory of branching processes. The first chapter develops the branching process theory, while in the second chapter two applications to population and epidemic processes of single-type branching process theory are explored. The last two chapters present multi-type branching process applications to epidemic models, and then continuous-time and continuous-state branching processes with applications. In addition, several MATLAB programs for simulating stochastic sample paths are provided in an Appendix.

These notes originated as part of a lecture series on Stochastics in Biological Systems at the Mathematical Biosciences Institute in Ohio, USA.

Professor Linda Allen is a Paul Whitfield Horn Professor of Mathematics in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Texas Tech University, USA.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本專著提供了單一類型和多類型分支過程的基本理論摘要。經典的人口和流行病模型示例說明了從分支過程理論中獲得的人口或流行病滅絕的概率。第一章發展了分支過程理論,而第二章則探討了單一類型分支過程理論在人口和流行病過程中的兩個應用。最後兩章介紹了多類型分支過程在流行病模型中的應用,然後是連續時間和連續狀態的分支過程及其應用。此外,附錄中提供了幾個用於模擬隨機樣本路徑的 MATLAB 程式。

這些筆記源於美國俄亥俄州數學生物科學研究所的生物系統隨機過程講座系列。
