Disks, Surfaces, and Entanglement Percolation

Paul Duncan, Benjamin Schweinhart, David Sivakoff

We study the probability that a loop is null-homotopic -- that is, bounded by the continuous image of a disk -- in plaquette percolation on Locally, the event that…

The effects of individual versus community-influenced isolation on SIS epidemic persistence on finite random graphs

Shirshendu Chatterjee, David Sivakoff, Matthew Wascher

The contact process, or the SIS epidemic model, is a continuous-time Markov process used to model the spread of a recurring infection on a graph. Each vertex is either healthy or i…

On the Continuity of Enhancement Percolation

Paul Duncan, Benjamin Schweinhart, David Sivakoff

We study bond percolation in with an unbounded family of enhancements that enable additional bonds to act as open. A natural question is whether percolation occurs i…

Two-stage Bootstrap Percolation

Zihao Fang, Janko Gravner, David Sivakoff

We introduce and study two variants of two-stage growth dynamics in with state space . In each variant, vertices in state can be change…

Polluted Modified Bootstrap Percolation

Janko Gravner, Alexander Holroyd, Sangchul Lee +1

In the polluted modified bootstrap percolation model, sites in the square lattice are independently initially occupied with probability or closed with probability . A site b…

Competing deterministic growth models in two dimensions

Janko Gravner, David Sivakoff

We consider three-state cellular automata in two dimensions in which two colored states, blue and red, compete for control of the empty background, starting from low initial densit…

Diffusion-limited annihilating-coalescing systems

Sungwon Ahn, Matthew Junge, Hanbaek Lyu +3

We study a family of interacting particle systems with annihilating and coalescing reactions. Two types of particles are interspersed throughout a transitive unimodular graph. Both…

Two-dimensional supercritical growth dynamics with one-dimensional nucleation

Daniel Blanquicett, Janko Gravner, David Sivakoff +1

We introduce a class of cellular automata growth models on the two-dimensional integer lattice with finite cross neighborhoods. These dynamics are determined by a Young diagram $\m…

Cyclic Cellular Automata and Greenberg-Hastings Models on Regular Trees

Jason Bello, David Sivakoff

We study the cyclic cellular automaton (CCA) and the Greenberg-Hastings model (GHM) with colors and contact threshold on the infinite -regular tree, .…

Stretched exponential decay for subcritical parking times on

Michael Damron, Hanbaek Lyu, David Sivakoff

In the parking model on , each vertex is initially occupied by a car (with probability ) or by a vacant parking spot (with probability ). Cars perform indepen…

Particle density in diffusion-limited annihilating systems

Tobias Johnson, Matthew Junge, Hanbaek Lyu +1

Place an -particle at each site of a graph independently with probability and otherwise place a -particle. - and -particles perform independent continuous time rand…

Sampling random graph homomorphisms and applications to network data analysis

Hanbaek Lyu, Facundo Memoli, David Sivakoff

A graph homomorphism is a map between two graphs that preserves adjacency relations. We consider the problem of sampling a random graph homomorphism from a graph into a large netwo…

Two-type annihilating systems on the complete and star graph

Irina Cristali, Yufeng Jiang, Matthew Junge +3

Red and blue particles are placed in equal proportion through-out either the complete or star graph and iteratively sampled to take simple random walk steps. Mutual annihilation oc…

The effect of avoiding known infected neighbors on the persistence of a recurring infection process

Shirshendu Chatterjee, David Sivakoff, Matthew Wascher

We study a generalization of the classical contact process (SIS epidemic model) in a directed graph . Our model is a continuous-time interacting particle system in which at ever…

Bootstrap percolation on the product of the two-dimensional lattice with a Hamming square

Janko Gravner, David Sivakoff

Bootstrap percolation on a graph is a deterministic process that iteratively enlarges a set of occupied sites by adjoining points with at least occupied neighbors. The initiall…

math.PR2017

Parking on transitive unimodular graphs

Michael Damron, Janko Gravner, Matthew Junge +2

Place a car independently with probability at each site of a graph. Each initially vacant site is a parking spot that can fit one car. Cars simultaneously perform independent r…

Coarsening model on with biased zero-energy flips and an exponential large deviation bound for ASEP

Michael Damron, Leonid Petrov, David Sivakoff

We study the coarsening model (zero-temperature Ising Glauber dynamics) on (for ) with an asymmetric tie-breaking rule. This is a Markov process on the sta…
