Generalizations of forest fires with ignition at origin

Abstract

We study generalizations of the Forest Fire model introduced in [van den Berg, J., and J\'arai, A. A. "On the asymptotic density in a one-dimensional self-organized critical forest-fire model". Comm. Math. Phys. 253 (2005)] and [Volkov, Stanislav. "Forest fires on Z+\mathbb{Z}_+ with ignition only at 0". ALEA 6 (2009)] by allowing the rates at which the tree grow to depend on their location, introducing long-range burning, as well as continuous-space generalization of the model. We establish that in all the models in consideration the time required to reach site at distance xx from the origin is of order at most (logx)(log2)1+δ(\log x)^{(\log 2)^{-1}+\delta} for any δ>0\delta>0.
