We consider directed percolation with an absorbing boundary in 1+1 and 2+1 dimensions. The distribution of cluster lifetimes and sizes depend on the boundary. The new scaling exponents can be related to the exponents characterizing standard…

We consider a spatial model related to bond percolation for the spread of a disease that includes variation in the susceptibility to infection. We work on a lattice with random bond strengths and show that with strong disorder, i.e. a wide…

The fractal properties of models of randomly placed $n$-dimensional spheres ($n$=1,2,3) are studied using standard techniques for calculating fractal dimensions in empirical data (the box counting and Minkowski-sausage techniques). Using…

Premixed flames are susceptible to hydrodynamic and thermodiffusive instabilities that wrinkle the flame front and lead to complex multiscale patterns. They strongly impact the flame propagation and dynamics, increasing the speed of a…

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…

The random diffusion model is a continuum model for a conserved scalar density field driven by diffusive dynamics where the bare diffusion coefficient is density dependent. We generalize the model from one with a sharp wavenumber cutoff to…
