Phase transition for the frog model
We study a system of simple random walks on graphs, known as frog model. This
model can be described as follows: There are active and sleeping particles
living on some graph G. Each active particle performs a simple random walk with
discrete time and at each moment it may disappear with probability 1-p. When an
active particle hits a sleeping particle, the latter becomes active. Phase
transition results and asymptotic values for critical parameters are presented
for Z^d and regular trees
