Forest fires on Z+ with ignition only at 0
(2009) In Latin American Journal of Probability and Mathematical Statistics 6. p.399-414- Abstract
- Abstract. We consider a of the forest fire model on graph G, where eachvertex of a graph becomes occupied with rate one. A fixed vertex v0 is hit by lightning with the same rate, and when this occurs, the whole cluster of occupied vertices containing v0 is burnt out. We show that when G = Z+, the times between consecutive burnouts at vertex n, divided by log n, converge weakly as n → ∞ to a random variable which distribution is 1−(x) where (x) is the Dickman function. We also show that on transitive graphs with a non-trivial site percolation thresholdand one infinite cluster at most, the distributions of the time till the first burnout of any vertex have exponential tails.
