Coexistence in a two-type continuum growth model

Probability 2015-09-24 v1

Abstract

We consider a stochastic model, describing the growth of two competing infections on Rd\mathbb{R}^d. The growth takes place by way of spherical outbursts in the infected region, an outburst in the type 1 (2) infected region causing all previously uninfected points within a stochastic distance from the outburst location to be type 1 (2) infected. The main result is that, if the infection types have the same intensity, then there is a strictly positive probability that both infection types grow unboundedly.
