We consider a multistage cancer model in which cells are arranged in a $d$-dimensional integer lattice. Starting with all wild-type cells, we prove results about the distribution of the first time when two neutral mutations have accumulated in some cell in dimensions $dge 2$, extending work done by Komarova [Genetics 166 (2004) 1571-1579] for $d=1$.

In this paper I will review twenty years of work on the question: When is there coexistence in stochastic spatial models? The answer, announced in Durrett and Levin [Theor. Pop. Biol. 46 (1994) 363--394], and that we explain in this paper is that thi
s can be determined by examining the mean-field ODE. There are a number of rigorous results in support of this picture, but we will state nine challenging and important open problems, most of which date from the 1990s.
The Moran model with recombination is considered, which describes the evolution of the genetic composition of a population under recombination and resampling. There are $n$ sites (or loci), a finite number of letters (or alleles) at every site, and w
e do not make any scaling assumptions. In particular, we do not assume a diffusion limit. We consider the following marginal ancestral recombination process. Let $S = {1,...,n}$ and $mathcal A={A_1, ..., A_m}$ be a partition of $S$. We concentrate on the joint probability of the letters at the sites in $A_1$ in individual $1$, $...$, and at the sites in $A_m$ in individual $m$, where the individuals are sampled from the current population without replacement. Following the ancestry of these sites backwards in time yields a process on the set of partitions of $S$, which, in the diffusion limit, turns into a marginalised version of the $n$-locus ancestral recombination graph. With the help of an inclusion-exclusion principle, we show that the type distribution corresponding to a given partition may be represented in a systematic way, with the help of so-called recombinators and sampling functions. The same is true of correlation functions (known as linkage disequilibria in genetics) of all orders. We prove that the partitioning process (backward in time) is dual to the Moran population process (forward in time), where the sampling function plays the role of the duality function. This sheds new light on the work of Bobrowski, Wojdyla, and Kimmel (2010). The result also leads to a closed system of ordinary differential equations for the expectations of the sampling functions, which can be translated into expected type distributions and expected linkage disequilibria.
We review a recent approach to the mean-field limits in neural networks that takes into account the stochastic nature of input current and the uncertainty in synaptic coupling. This approach was proved to be a rigorous limit of the network equations
in a general setting, and we express here the results in a more customary and simpler framework. We propose a heuristic argument to derive these equations providing a more intuitive understanding of their origin. These equations are characterized by a strong coupling between the different moments of the solutions. We analyse the equations, present an algorithm to simulate the solutions of these mean-field equations, and investigate numerically the equations. In particular, we build a bridge between these equations and Sompolinsky and collaborators approach (1988, 1990), and show how the coupling between the mean and the covariance function deviates from customary approaches.
In the system we study, 1s and 0s represent occupied and vacant sites in the contact process with births at rate $lambda$ and deaths at rate 1. $-1$s are sterile individuals that do not reproduce but appear spontaneously on vacant sites at rate $alph
a$ and die at rate $thetaalpha$. We show that the system (which is attractive but has no dual) dies out at the critical value and has a nontrivial stationary distribution when it is supercritical. Our most interesting results concern the asymptotics when $alphato 0$. In this regime the process resembles the contact process in a random environment.
In this article, we consider time-changed models of population evolution $mathcal{X}^f(t)=mathcal{X}(H^f(t))$, where $mathcal{X}$ is a counting process and $H^f$ is a subordinator with Laplace exponent $f$. In the case $mathcal{X}$ is a pure birth pr
ocess, we study the form of the distribution, the intertimes between successive jumps and the condition of explosion (also in the case of killed subordinators). We also investigate the case where $mathcal{X}$ represents a death process (linear or sublinear) and study the extinction probabilities as a function of the initial population size $n_0$. Finally, the subordinated linear birth-death process is considered. A special attention is devoted to the case where birth and death rates coincide; the sojourn times are also analysed.
