We introduce an interacting particle system which models the inherited sterility method. Individuals evolve on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ according to a contact process with parameter $\lambda>0$. With probability $p \in [0,1]$ an offspring is fertile…
We study one specific version of the contact process on a graph. Here, we allow multiple infections carried by the nodes and include a probability of removing nodes in a graph. The removal probability is purely determined by the number of…
In the $R$-spread out, $d$-dimensional voter model, each site $x$ of $\mathbb{Z}^d$ has state (or 'opinion') 0 or 1 and, with rate 1, updates its opinion by copying that of some site $y$ chosen uniformly at random among all sites within…
To study later spatial evolutionary games based on the multitype contact process, we first focus in this paper on the conditions for survival/extinction in the presence of only one strategy, in which case our model consists of a variant of…
We study the contact process running in the one-dimensional lattice undergoing dynamical percolation, where edges open at rate $vp$ and close at rate $v(1-p)$. Our goal is to explore how the speed of the environment, $v$, affects the…
We consider a general class of contact processes on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with potentially long-range interactions. By adapting well established renormalization arguments to the long-range setting we extend by now classical results for…
In this paper we are concerned with the contact process on the squared lattice. The contact process intuitively describes the spread of the infectious disease on a graph, where an infectious vertex becomes healthy at a constant rate while a…
In this paper, we establish the necessary and sufficient criterion for the contact process on Galton-Watson trees (resp. random graphs) to exhibit the phase of extinction (resp. short survival). We prove that the survival threshold…
We consider the critical spread-out contact process in $\Zd$ with $d\geq 1$, whose infection range is denoted by $L\geq1$. The two-point function $\tau_t(x)$ is the probability that $x\in\Zd$ is infected at time $t$ by the infected…
We study a generalization of the classical contact process (SIS epidemic model) in a directed graph $G$. Our model is a continuous-time interacting particle system in which at every time, each vertex is either healthy or infected, and each…
We consider a symmetric finite-range contact process on $\mathbb{Z}$ with two types of particles (or infections), which propagate according to the same supercritical rate and die (or heal) at rate $1$. Particles of type $1$ can enter any…
The reproduction speed of a continuous-time branching random walk is proportional to a positive parameter $\lambda$. There is a threshold for $\lambda$, which is called $\lambda_w$, that separates almost sure global extinction from global…
We consider the critical spread-out contact process in Z^d with d\ge1, whose infection range is denoted by L\ge1. In this paper, we investigate the r-point function \tau_{\vec t}^{(r)}(\vec x) for r\ge3, which is the probability that, for…
Molecular dynamic simulations for systems with $D=2,3$ Lennard-Jones-like interactions are studied. In the model, we assume that, at long distances, the two-body attractive potential decays as $r^{-\alpha}$. Thermodynamic extensivity…
We investigate a non-Markovian analogue of the Harris contact process in a finite connected graph G=(V,E): an individual is attached to each site x in V, and it can be infected or healthy; the infection propagates to healthy neighbors just…
This paper is concerned with a natural variant of the contact process modeling the spread of knowledge on the integer lattice. Each site is characterized by its knowledge, measured by a real number ranging from 0 = ignorant to 1 =…
We study the frog model on $\mathbb{Z}$ with particle-wise random geometric lifetimes: each particle has a survival parameter $\pi\in(0,1)$ sampled i.i.d., whose density near $1$ satisfies $f_\pi(u)\sim (1-u)^{\beta-1}L\big((1-u)^{-1}\big)$…
Realistic modeling of ecological population dynamics requires spatially explicit descriptions that can take into account spatial heterogeneity as well as long-distance dispersal. Here, we present Monte Carlo simulations and numerical…
We consider the contact process on a random graph with fixed degree distribution given by a power law. We follow the work of Chatterjee and Durrett, who showed that for arbitrarily small infection parameter $\lambda$, the survival time of…
We show that a certain model for the spread of an infection has a phase transition in the recuperation rate. The model is as follows: There are particles or individuals of type A and type B, interpreted as healthy and infected,…
