Abstract

Many spatio-temporal phenomena can be effectively described exploiting the theory of Birth-and-death stochastic processes (B&D) related to the description of dynamics characterizing birth and death of generally intended individuals, w.r.t. the spatial trajectories they cover in time interacting with other components of the same population, often considering collaboration/competition mechanisms.

Such type of (stochastic) dynamics can be applied to a wide range of natural and social dynamics, spanning from biology, to finance, from social networks to image recognition and abstract considerations about interacting particle systems as happens concerning modelling physical systems. We will provide the basics about spatial B&D stochastic processes discussing some of the aforementioned applications. including basics of percolation theory and interacting particles systems.
