The 6th International Workshop on Branching Processes and their Applications - IWBPA 2024

The theory of branching processes was essentially motivated by the observation of the strange phenomenon of the extinction of certain family lines of the European aristocracy versus rapid exponential growth of the whole population. Since then, branching processes have been regarded as appropriate probability models for the description of the behaviour of systems whose components (cells, particles, individuals in general) reproduce, are transformed, or die. The theory has developed from simple models to increasing realism. Added to the theoretical interest in these processes, there was therefore a major practical dimension due to their potential applications in such diverse fields as biology, epidemiology, genetics, medicine, nuclear physics, demography, actuarial mathematics, algorithm and data structures, etc. Nowadays, this theory goes on being an area of active and interesting research.

The aim of this workshop is to facilitate the exchange of research ideas in the field of branching processes and related processes, from both theoretical and practical viewpoints. It will consist of a series of invited talks. We hope that this meeting contributes to start and continue future scientific collaborations.

We look forward to welcoming you in Badajoz.

With our best regards,
