Random spatial growth with paralyzing obstacles

J. van den Berg, Y. Peres, V. Sidoravicius, M. E. Vares (2008)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Similarity:

We study models of spatial growth processes where initially there are sources of growth (indicated by the colour green) and sources of a growth-stopping (paralyzing) substance (indicated by red). The green sources expand and may merge with others (there is no ‘inter-green’ competition). The red substance remains passive as long as it is isolated. However, when a green cluster comes in touch with the red substance, it is immediately invaded by the latter, stops growing and starts to act...

Coupling a branching process to an infinite dimensional epidemic process

Andrew D. Barbour (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

Branching process approximation to the initial stages of an epidemic process has been used since the 1950's as a technique for providing stochastic counterparts to deterministic epidemic threshold theorems. One way of describing the approximation is to construct both branching and epidemic processes on the same probability space, in such a way that their paths coincide for as long as possible. In this paper, it is shown, in the context of a Markovian model of parasitic infection,...
