We study forest fire processes in two dimensions. On a given planar lattice, vertices independently switch from vacant to occupied at rate $1$ (initially they are all vacant), and any connected component "is burnt" (its vertices become…
We consider a forest-fire model which, somewhat informally, is described as follows: Each site (vertex) of the square lattice is either vacant or occupied by a tree.Vacant sites become occupied at rate 1. Further, each site is hit by…
Consider the following forest-fire model on the upper half-plane of the triangular lattice: Each site can be "vacant" or "occupied by a tree". At time 0 all sites are vacant. Then the process is governed by the following random dynamics:…
Self-destructive percolation with parameters $p,\delta$ is obtained by taking a site percolation configuration with parameter $p$, closing all sites belonging to infinite clusters, then opening every closed site with probability $\delta$,…
Let $T$ be a regular rooted tree. For every natural number $n$, let $B_n$ be the finite subtree of vertices with graph distance at most $n$ from the root. Consider the following forest-fire model on $B_n$: Each vertex can be "vacant" or…
Consider critical site percolation on a "nice" planar lattice: each vertex is occupied with probability $p = p_c$, and vacant with probability $1 - p_c$. Now, suppose that additional vacancies ("holes", or "impurities") are created,…
We consider a version of the forest fire model on graph $G$, where each vertex of a graph becomes occupied with rate one. A fixed vertex $v_0$ is hit by lightning with the same rate, and when this occurs, the whole cluster of occupied…
We consider the so-called one-dimensional forest fire process. At each site of $\mathbb{Z}$, a tree appears at rate $1$. At each site of $\mathbb{Z}$, a fire starts at rate ${\lambda}>0$, immediately destroying the whole corresponding…
We study two closely related processes on the triangular lattice: frozen percolation, where connected components of occupied vertices freeze (they stop growing) as soon as they contain at least $N$ vertices, and forest fire processes, where…
Dynamic mean field theory is applied to the problem of forest fires. The starting point is the Monte Carlo simulation in a lattice of million cells. The statistics of the clusters is obtained by means of the Hoshen--Kopelman algorithm. We…
Consider the following forest fire model where the possible locations of trees are the sites of $\mathbb{Z}$. Each site has three possible states: 'vacant', 'occupied' or 'burning'. Vacant sites become occupied at rate $1$. At each site,…
We show that in high dimensional Bernoulli percolation, removing from a thin infinite cluster a much thinner infinite cluster leaves an infinite component. This observation has implications for the van den Berg-Brouwer forest fire process,…
We present high statistics Monte Carlo results for the Drossel-Schwabl forest fire model in 2 dimensions. They extend to much larger lattices (up to $65536\times 65536$) than previous simulations and reach much closer to the critical point…
Consider the following forest-fire process on a connected graph. Each site of the graph can be either occupied or vacant. A vacant site becomes occupied with rate 1. A site is ignited with rate lambda, and its whole occupied cluster burns…
We investigate the growth of clusters within the forest fire model of R\'{a}th and T\'{o}th [22]. The model is a continuous-time Markov process, similar to the dynamical Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi random graph but with the addition of so-called…
We present a general stochastic forest-fire model which shows a variety of different structures depending on the parameter values. The model contains three possible states per site (tree, burning tree, empty site) and three parameters (tree…
The Drossel-Schwabl model of forest fires can be interpreted in a coarse grained sense as a model for the stress distribution in a single planar fault. Fires in the model are then translated to earthquakes. I show that when a second class…
The forest fire model is a reaction-diffusion model where energy, in the form of trees, is injected uniformly, and burned (dissipated) locally. We show that the spatial distribution of fires forms a novel geometric structure where the…
The Drossel-Schwabl Forest Fire Model is one of the best studied models of non-conservative self-organised criticality. However, using a new algorithm, which allows us to study the model on large statistical and spatial scales, it has been…
Frozen percolation on the binary tree was introduced by Aldous around fifteen years ago, inspired by sol-gel transitions. We investigate a version of the model on the triangular lattice, where connected components stop growing ("freeze") as…
