Review text

The paper discusses and compares the duality of the concept of forward and backward equations for Galton-Watson processes, time dependent multitype and continuous-type branching processes. Remarks are given on the wide ranged field of applications, such as the dynamics of structered cell populations, cell growth with unequal division or small heterogeneous cell colonies. Especially forward equations can be used to model control problems in cell population dynamics. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0901.00038].
