We consider the super-critical contact process on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. It is known that measures which dominate the upper invariant measure $\mu$ converge exponentially fast to $\mu$. However, the same is not true for measures which are below…
A new, conceptual proof approach for establishing the existence of regenerative space-time points for symmetric, translation invariant, finite-range interaction contact processes on survival is shown. The proof is elementary, complements…
In this paper, we consider contact processes on locally compact separable metric spaces with birth and death rates heterogeneous in space. Conditions on the rates that ensure the existence of invariant measures of contact processes are…
We study a contact process running in a random environment in $\mathbb {Z}^d$ where sites flip, independently of each other, between blocking and nonblocking states, and the contact process is restricted to live in the space given by…
We study the effects of local and distance interactions in the unidimensional contact process (CP). In the model, each site of a lattice is occupied by an individual, which can be healthy or infected. As in the standard CP, each infected…
For the supercritical contact process on the hyper-cubic lattice started from a single infection at the origin and conditioned on survival, we establish two uniformity results for the hitting times $t(x)$, defined for each site $x$ as the…
The contact process is a simple infection spreading model showcasing an out-of-equilibrium phase transition between a macroscopically active and an inactive phase. Such absorbing state phase transitions are often sensitive to the presence…
We study a physical system of $N$ interacting particles in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq1$, subject to pair repulsion and confined by an external field. We establish a large deviations principle for their empirical distribution as $N$ tends to…
We prove that the supercritical one-dimensional contact process survives in certain wedge-like space-time regions, and that when it survives it couples with the unrestricted contact process started from its upper invariant measure. As an…
We analyze the properties of the contact process with long-range interactions by the use of a kinetic ensemble in which the total number of particles is strictly conserved. In this ensemble, both annihilation and creation processes are…
We consider translation-invariant, finite range, supercritical contact processes. We show the existence of unbounded space-time cones within which the descendancy of the process from full occupancy may with positive probability be identical…
We study two new models of two particle species invading a surface from opposite sides. Collisions of particles of different species lead to the formation of congestion fronts. One of the models implements a reversible process whereas in…
What is the long-time behavior of the law of a contact process started with a single infected site, distributed according to counting measure on the lattice? This question is related to the configuration as seen from a typical infected site…
We study an interacting particle system in which moving particles activate dormant particles linked by the components of critical bond percolation. Addressing a conjecture from Beckman, Dinan, Durrett, Huo, and Junge for a continuous…
We study asymmetric zero-range processes on Z with nearest-neighbour jumps and site disorder. The jump rate of particles is an arbitrary but bounded nondecreasing function of the number of particles. We prove quenched strong local…
We are concerned with the supercritical contact process modified so that first infection occurs at a lower rate, it is known that the process survives with positive probability. Regarding the rightmost infected of the process started from…
In this article, we present two novel variants of the contact process. In the first variant individuals carry a viral load. An individual with viral load zero is classified as healthy and otherwise infected. If an individual becomes…
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…
We introduce and study the mutating contact process, a variant of the multitype contact process, where one type mutates at a constant rate to the other type. We prove that on $\mathbb{Z}$ a single mutant cannot survive while on…
In this work we study the one-dimensional contact process with diffusion using two different approaches to research the critical properties of this model: the supercritical series expansions and finite-size exact solutions. With special…
