Abstract

We consider a model of branching Brownian motion in which the usual spatially homogeneous branching and catalytic branching at a single point are simultaneously present. We establish the almost sure growth rates of population in certain time-dependent regions and as a consequence the first-order asymptotic behaviour of the rightmost particle.
