Contact tracing can be thought of as a race between two processes: an infection process and a tracing process. In this paper, we study a simple model of infection spreading on a tree, and a tracer who stabilizes one node at a time. We focus…

The frog model starts with one active particle at the root of a graph and some number of dormant particles at all nonroot vertices. Active particles follow independent random paths, waking all inactive particles they encounter. We prove…

We study the frog model on Cayley graphs of groups with polynomial growth rate $D \geq 3$. The frog model is an interacting particle system in discrete time. We consider that the process begins with a particle at each vertex of the graph…

Place an active particle at the root of the infinite $d$-ary tree and dormant particles at each non-root site. Active particles move towards the root with probability $p$ and otherwise move to a uniformly sampled child vertex. When an…

We consider a random interacting particle system, known as the frog model, on infinite Galton-Watson trees allowing offspring zero and one. The system starts with one awake particle (frog) at the root of the tree and a random number of…

We introduce a generalized version of the frog model to describe the invasion of a parasite population in a spatially structured immobile host population with host immunity on the integer line. Parasites move according to simple symmetric…

The contact process is a simple model for the spread of an infection in a structured population. We investigate the case when the underlying structure evolves dynamically as a degree-dependent dynamical percolation model. Starting with a…

Bootstrap percolation is a process that is used to model the spread of an infection on a given graph. In the model considered here each vertex is equipped with an individual threshold. As soon as the number of infected neighbors exceeds…
