摘要:
We use the exploration process introduced in a previous work to develop a new construction of superprocesses with a general branching mechanism. This construction depends on a path-valued process called the Levy snake, which is of independent interest. Our method of proof involves a calculation of the Laplace functional of the occupation field of the Levy snake. This calculation relies on an evaluation of the corresponding moment functionals, which requires precise information about the underlying genealogical structure.
