Cover Story: Given a discrete spatial structure X, we define continuous-time branching processes {ηt}t≥0 that model a population breeding and dying on X. These processes are usually called branching random walks, and {ηt}(x) denotes the number of individuals alive at site x at time t. They are characterised by breeding rates kxy (governing the rate at which individuals at x send offspring to y) and by a multiplicative speed parameter λ. These processes also serve as models for epidemic spreading, where λkxy represents the infection rate from x to y. In this context, {ηt}(x) represents the number of infected individuals at x at time t, and the removal of an individual is due to either death or recovery. Two critical parameters of interest are the global critical parameter λw, related to global survival, and the local critical parameter λs, related to survival within finite sets (with λw ≤ λs). View this paper
