At each time step $t\\to t\\!+\\!1$, the individuals reproduce independently at random making children around their positions and the $N$ individuals that form the $(t+1)$th generation are chosen at random among these children according to the Gibbs measure at temperature $\\beta$. We compute the asymptotic speed and the genealogical behaviour of the system.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-05-11T12:30:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60J80", "60K35" ], "keywords": [ "branching random walk", "random selection", "time step", "gibbs measure", "individuals reproduce" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
