Dependent random graphs and spatial epidemics
Dependent random graphs and spatial epidemics
We extend certain exponential decay results of subcritical percolation to a class of locally dependent random graphs, introduced by Kuulasmaa as models for spatial epidemics on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. In these models, infected individuals eventually die (are removed) and are not replaced. We combine these results with certain continuity and rescaling arguments …
