We consider first passage percolation with i.i.d. weights on edges of the d-dimensional cubic lattice. Under the assumptions that a weight is equal to zero with probability smaller than the critical probability of bond percolation in the…

In the inhomogeneous random graph model, each vertex $i\in\{1,\ldots,n\}$ is assigned a weight $W_i\sim\text{Unif}(0,1)$, and an edge between any two vertices $i,j$ is present with probability $k(W_i,W_j)/\lambda_n\in[0,1]$, where $k$ is a…

In this paper we will prove a shape theorem for the last passage percolation model on a two dimensional $F$-compound Poisson process, called the Hammersley model with random weights. We will also provide diffusive upper bounds for shape…

We consider a wide class of ergodic first passage percolation processes on Z^2 and prove that there exist at least four one-sided geodesics a.s. We also show that coexistence is possible with positive probability in a four color…

We investigate first passage percolation on inhomogeneous random graphs. The random graph model G(n,kappa) we study is the model introduced by Bollob\'as, Janson and Riordan, where each vertex has a type from a type space S and edge…

We define an inhomogeneous percolation model on "ladder graphs" obtained as direct products of an arbitrary graph $G = (V,E)$ and the set of integers $\mathbb{Z}$ (vertices are thought of as having a "vertical" component indexed by an…

We consider the first passage percolation model on the square lattice with an edge weight distribution F. In this paper, we consider the number of optimal paths for two points separated by a long distance. We show that there is a phase…

We consider the model of i.i.d. first passage percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ : we associate with each edge $e$ of the graph a passage time $t(e)$ taking values in $[0,+\infty]$, such that $\mathbb{P}[t(e)<+\infty] >p_c(d)$. Equivalently, we…

Let $0<a<b<\infty$, and for each edge $e$ of $Z^d$ let $\omega_e=a$ or $\omega_e=b$, each with probability 1/2, independently. This induces a random metric $\dist_\omega$ on the vertices of $Z^d$, called first passage percolation. We prove…

We consider first-passage percolation with i.i.d. non-negative weights coming from some continuous distribution under a moment condition. We review recent results in the study of geodesics in first-passage percolation and study their…

We introduce and study a class of abstract continuous action minimization problems that generalize continuous first and last passage percolation. In this class of models a limit shape exists. Our main result provides a framework under which…

We consider a simplified model of first-passage percolation, involving two families of i.i.d. random variables $\{\xi_{ij}\}$ and $\{\eta_{ij}\}$ corresponding to the weights of the horizontal and vertical edges respectively. We obtain an…

There are various models of first passage percolation (FPP) in $\mathbb R^d$. We want to start a very general study of this topic. To this end we generalize the first passage percolation model on the lattice $\mathbb Z^d$ to $\mathbb R^d$…

We formulate and prove a shape theorem for a continuous-time continuous-space stochastic growth model under certain general conditions. Similarly to the classical lattice growth models the proof makes use of the subadditive ergodic theorem.…

Inspired by strict-monotonicity criteria for the time constant in first passage percolation, we investigate convex ordering of point processes in relation to the time constant in first contact percolation. In a nutshell, first contact…
