Nonconservative diffusions on [0, 1] with killing and branching: applications to Wright-Fisher models with or without selection
Summary: We consider nonconservative diffusion processes \(x_t\) on the unit interval, so with absorbing barriers. Using Doob-transformation techniques involving superharmonic functions, we modify the original process to form a new diffusion process \(\tilde x_t\) presenting an additional killing-rate part \(d > 0\). We limit ourselves to situations for which \(\tilde x_t\) is itself nonconservative with upper bounded killing rate. For this transformed process, we study various conditions on events pertaining to both the killing and the absorption times. We introduce the idea of a reciprocal Doob transform; we start from the process \(\tilde x_t\), apply the reciprocal Doob transform ending up in a new process which is \(x_t\) but now with an additional branching rate \(b > 0\), which is also upper bounded. For this supercritical binary branching diffusion, there is a trade-off between branching events giving birth to new particles and absorption at the boundaries, killing the particles. Under our assumptions, the branching diffusion process gets eventually globally extinct in finite time. We apply these ideas to diffusion processes arising in population genetics. In this setup, the process \(x_t\) is a Wright-Fisher diffusion with selection. Using an exponential Doob transform, we end up with a killed neutral Wright-Fisher diffusion \(\tilde x_t\). We give a detailed study of the binary branching diffusion process obtained by using the corresponding reciprocal Doob transform.
