相关论文: The contact process with fitness on random trees
The goal of this article is to contribute towards the conceptual and quantitative understanding of the evolutionary benefits for (microbial) populations to maintain a seed bank (consisting of dormant individuals) when facing fluctuating…
Motivated by a model of an area-wide integrated pest management, we develop an interacting particle system evolving in a random environment. It is a generalised contact process in which the birth rate takes two possible values, determined…
We show that the contact process on a random $d$-regular graph initiated by a single infected vertex obeys the "cutoff phenomenon" in its supercritical phase. In particular, we prove that when the infection rate is larger than the critical…
We study the survival/extinction phase transition for contact processes with quenched disorder. The disorder is given by a locally finite random graph with vertices indexed by the integers that is assumed to be invariant under index shifts…
We study two famous interacting particle systems, the so-called Richardson's model and the contact process, when we add a stirring dynamics to them. We prove that they both satisfy an asymptotic shape theorem, as their analogues without…
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…
The stacked contact process is a three-state spin system that describes the co-evolution of a population of hosts together with their symbionts. In a nutshell, the hosts evolve according to a contact process while the symbionts evolve…
We study the genealogy of a sample of $k$ individuals taken uniformly without replacement from a continuous-time multitype Bienaym\'e--Galton--Watson process at fixed times. Our results are quite general, requiring only that the process be…
In this paper we are concerned with the contact process on the squared lattice. The contact process intuitively describes the spread of the infectious disease on a graph, where an infectious vertex becomes healthy at a constant rate while a…
We consider a random process on recursive trees, with three types of events. Vertices give birth at a constant rate (growth), each edge may be removed independently (fragmentation of the tree) and clusters (or trees) are frozen with a rate…
We consider a model of random loops on Galton-Watson trees with an offspring distribution with high expectation. We give the configurations a weighting of $\theta^{\#\text{loops}}$. For many $\theta>1$ these models are equivalent to certain…
Coalescence processes have received a lot of attention in the context of conditional branching processes with fixed population size and non-overlapping generations. Here we focus on similar problems in the context of the standard…
In a Bienaym\'{e}-Galton-Watson process for which there is a positiveprobability for individuals of having no offspring, there is a subtlebalance and dependence between the sterile nodes (the dead nodes or leaves)and the prolific ones (the…
We study one specific version of the contact process on a graph. Here, we allow multiple infections carried by the nodes and include a probability of removing nodes in a graph. The removal probability is purely determined by the number of…
We study the contact process on a class of geometric random graphs with scale-free degree distribution, defined on a Poisson point process on $\mathbb{R}^d$. This class includes the age-dependent random connection model and the soft Boolean…
The stacked contact process is a stochastic model for the spread of an infection within a population of hosts located on the $d$-dimensional integer lattice. Regardless of whether they are healthy or infected, hosts give birth and die at…
We study the discrete-time threshold-$\theta \geq 2$ contact process on random graphs of general degrees. For random graphs with a given degree distribution $\mu$, we show that if $\mu$ is lower bounded by $\theta+2$ and has finite $k$th…
We study the contact process in a dynamical random environment defined on the vertices and edges of a graph. For a broad class of processes, we establish an asymptotic shape theorem for the set H_t, which represents the vertices that have…
We consider a stochastic susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) model with contact tracing on random trees and on the configuration model. On a rooted tree, where initially all individuals are susceptible apart from the root which is…
We propose the following model for speciation and extinction. Birth and deaths occur according to spatially inhomogeneous contact rates. We assume that the ratio of the birth rate over the death rate at a site converges to some limit as the…
