We study the long-time behavior of stochastic models with an absorbing state, conditioned on survival. For a large class of processes, in which saturation prevents unlimited growth, statistical properties of the surviving sample attain…
The subcritical contact process seen from the rightmost infected site has no invariant measures. We prove that nevertheless it converges in distribution to a quasi-stationary measure supported on finite configurations.
In a recent work, a new numerical method (the lifespan method) has been introduced to study the critical properties of epidemic processes on complex networks [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{111}, 068701 (2013)]. Here, we present a detailed…
The contact process is a paradigmatic classical stochastic system displaying critical behavior even in one dimension. It features a non-equilibrium phase transition into an absorbing state that has been widely investigated and shown to…
We show results for the contact process on Barabasi networks. The contact process is a model for an epidemic spreading without permanent immunity that has an absorbing state. For finite lattices, the absorbing state is the true stationary…

We study the continuous absorbing-state phase transition in the one-dimensional pair contact process with diffusion (PCPD). In previous studies [Dickman and de Menezes, Phys. Rev. E, 66 045101(R) (2002)], the critical point moment ratios of…
A branching random walk in presence of an absorbing wall moving at a constant velocity $v$ undergoes a phase transition as the velocity $v$ of the wall varies. Below the critical velocity $v_c$, the population has a non-zero survival…
We employ a topological approach to investigate the nature of quasi-stationary states of the Mean Field XY Hamiltonian model that arise when the system is initially prepared in a fully magnetized configuration. By means of numerical…
We have studied the phase transition of the contact process near a multiple junction of $M$ semi-infinite chains by Monte Carlo simulations. As opposed to the continuous transitions of the translationally invariant ($M=2$) and semi-infinite…
The Hamiltonian Mean-Field model has been investigated, since its introduction about a decade ago, to study the equilibrium and dynamical properties of long-range interacting systems. Here we study the long-time behavior of long-lived,…
A quasi-static process is realized in a purely quantum-mechanical model which is described by oscillator (or particle) systems having relative-phase interactions. Time development of a mixture of two oscillator (or particle) systems which…
A major hurdle in the simulation of the steady state of epidemic processes is that the system will unavoidably visit an absorbing, disease-free state at sufficiently long times due to the finite size of the networks where epidemics evolves.…
We consider stochastic population processes that are almost surely absorbed at the origin within finite time. Our interest is in the quasistationary distribution, $\boldsymbol{u}$, and the expected time, $\tau$, from quasistationarity to…

Quasi steady state assumptions are often used to simplify complex systems of ordinary differential equations in modelling of biochemical processes. The simplified system is designed to have the same qualitative properties as the original…
