Theory of Probability &Its Applications, Volume 69, Issue 1, Page 88-98, May 2024. We consider periodic branching random walks with periodic branching sources. It is assumed that the transition intensities of the random walk satisfy some symmetry conditions and obey a condition which ensures infinite variance of jumps. In this case, we obtain the leading term for the asymptotics of the mean population size of particles at an arbitrary point of the lattice for large time.

Theory of Probability &Its Applications, Volume 69, Issue 1, Page 150-160, May 2024. For Gaussian stationary processes, a time series Hellinger distance $T(f,g)$ for spectra $f$ and $g$ is derived. Evaluating $T(f_theta,f_{theta+h})$ of the form $O(h^alpha)$, we give $1/alpha$-consistent asymptotics of the maximum likelihood estimator of $theta$ for nonregular spectra. For regular spectra, we introduce the minimum Hellinger distance estimator $widehat{theta}=operatorname{arg}min_theta T(f_theta,widehat{g}_n)$, where $widehat{g}_n$ is a nonparametric spectral density estimator. We show that $widehattheta$ is asymptotically efficient and more robust than the Whittle estimator. Brief numerical studies are provided.

Theory of Probability &Its Applications, Volume 69, Issue 1, Page 71-87, May 2024. We consider a continuous-time homogeneous Markov process on the state space $mathbf{Z}_+={0,1,2,dots}$. The process is interpreted as the motion of a particle. A particle may transit only to neighboring points $mathbf{Z}_+$, i.e., for each single motion of the particle, its coordinate changes by 1. The process is equipped with a branching mechanism. Branching sources may be located at each point of $mathbf{Z}_+$. At a moment of branching, new particles appear at the branching point and then evolve independently of each other (and of the other particles) by the same rules as the initial particle. To such a branching Markov process there corresponds a Jacobi matrix. In terms of orthogonal polynomials corresponding to this matrix, we obtain formulas for the mean number of particles at an arbitrary fixed point of $mathbf{Z}_+$ at time $t>0$. The results obtained are applied to some concrete models, an exact value for the mean number of particles in terms of special functions is given, and an asymptotic formula for this quantity for large time is found.
