Meeting on Branching Processes & Applications

The theory of branching processes has long been used to model the evolution of populations whose members live, reproduce and die independently of each other. It is a very active and rich area of research that has developed from very simple models to more complex models with an increasing realism. Currently, branching processes play a very important role in models of genetics, molecular biology, ecology and evolutionary theory. Applications in physics and computer science are also well known.
The main purposes of the meeting are to introduce the audience to the fundamental results of the mathematical theory of branching processes and to present concrete examples where the theory is being used to solve important problems arising in the areas referred above.
There will be seminars and introductory courses given by experts in the field. The meeting is suitable both for mathematicians, with an interest in the applications, and for a biological audience. No prior knowledge of branching processes is assumed.
