The problem we consider describes the limit evolution of branching brownian particles on the line with death of the leftmost particle at each creation time as studied in [7]. We use extensively results in [1] and [2].", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-07-05T07:04:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "free boundary problem", "biological selection models", "local existence", "limit evolution", "branching brownian particles" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
