Abstract

There are three parts in this article. In Section 1, we establish the model of branching chain with drift in space-time random environment (BCDSTRE),  i.e.,  the coupling of branching chain and random walk. In Section 2,  we prove that any BCDSTRE must be a Markov chain in
time random environment when we consider the distribution of the particles in space as a random element. In Section 3,  we calculate the first-order moments and the second-order moments of BCDSTRE.
