Intermittency in branching processes

Abstract

We study the intermittency properties of two branching processes, one with a uniform and another with a singular splitting kernel. The asymptotic intermittency indices, as well as the leading corrections to the asymptotic linear regime are explicitly computed in an analytic framework. Both models are found to possess a monofractal spectrum with ϕ q =q − 1 and inverse logarithmic corrections. Relations with previous results are discussed.
