Branching Random Walks : École d'Été de Probabilités de Saint-Flour XLII – 2012 /

Providing an elementary introduction to branching random walks, the main focus of these lecture notes is on the asymptotic properties of one-dimensional discrete-time supercritical branching random walks, and in particular, on extreme positions in each generation, as well as the evolution of these p...
