Abstract

A competition process on Zd is considered, where two species compete to color the sites. The entities are driven by branching random walks. Specifically red (blue) particles reproduce in discrete time and place offspring according to a given reproduction law, which may be different for the two types. When a red (blue) particle is placed at a site that has not been occupied by any particle before, the site is colored red (blue) and keeps this color forever. The types interact in that, when a particle is placed at a site of opposite color, the particle adopts the color of the site with probability p∈[0,1]. Can a given type color infinitely many sites? Can both types color infinitely many sites simultaneously? Partial answers are given to these questions and many open problems are formulated.
