Asymptotic shape for the contact process in random environment

Large deviations for the contact process in random environment

The asymptotic shape theorem for the contact process in random environment gives the existence of a norm μ on R such that the hitting time t(x) is asymptotically equivalent to μ(x) when the contact process survives. We provide here exponential upper bounds for the probability of the event { t(x) μ(x) 6∈ [1 − ε, 1 + ε]}; these bounds are optimal for independent random environment. As a special c...

The Contact Process in a Dynamic Random Environment By

We study a contact process running in a random environment in Zd where sites flip, independently of each other, between blocking and nonblocking states, and the contact process is restricted to live in the space given by nonblocked sites. We give a partial description of the phase diagram of the process, showing in particular that, depending on the flip rates of the environment, survival of the...

The Contact Process in a Dynamic Random Environment

Z d where sites flip, independently of each other, between blocking and nonblocking states, and the contact process is restricted to live in the space given by nonblocked sites. We give a partial description of the phase diagram of the process, showing in particular that, depending on the flip rates of the environment, survival of the contact process may or may not be possible for large values ...

Asymptotic Shape for the Chemical Distance and First-passage Percolation in Random Environment

The aim of this paper is to generalize the well-known asymptotic shape result for first-passage percolation on Zd to first-passage percolation on a random environment given by the infinite cluster of a supercritical Bernoulli percolation model. We prove the convergence of the renormalized set of wet points to a deterministic shape that does not depend on the random environment. As a special cas...
