    A simple path to asymptotics for the frontier of a branching Brownian motion
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2011) Roberts, Matthew I.
    We give proofs of two results about the position of the extremal particle in a branching Brownian motion, one concerning the median position and another the almost sure behaviour. Our methods are based on a many-to-two lemma which allows us to estimate the effect of the branching structure on the system by considering two dependent Bessel processes.

    The many-to-few lemma and multiple spines
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2011) Harris, Simon S.; Roberts, Matthew I.
    We develop an extension to the spine theory of branching processes, and use it to give a simple and intuitive identity for calculating additive functionals of such processes, generalizing the well-known many-to-one lemma.
