Abstract

The contact process on a graph is a model for the spread of an infection where the vertices can alternate between the infected (or occupied) and healthy (or vacant) states. We consider the process defined on the infinite connected component of a random geometric graph in the d-dimensional Euclidean space. A healthy vertex becomes infected at a rate proportional to the number of infected neighboring vertices. An infected vertex becomes healthy at a constant rate. We will study if the random set of sites that were already infected converges almost surely to a deterministic shape. We are also interested in finding related results, such as to specify the limiting shape and possible applications. (AU)
