A long-range contact process in a random environment

Abstract

We study survival and extinction of a long-range infection process on a diluted one-dimensional lattice in discrete time. The infection can spread to distant vertices according to a Pareto distribution, however spreading is also prohibited at random times. We prove a phase transition in the recovery parameter via block arguments. This contributes to a line of research on directed percolation with long-range correlations in nonstabilizing random environments.
