Stochastic Growth Models: Recent Results and Open Problems

  • Conference paper
Mathematical Approaches to Problems in Resource Management and Epidemiology

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Biomathematics ((LNBM,volume 81))

Abstract

In this paper we will describe some recent work in interacting particle systems and state some open problems. We will discuss three models: Richardson’s model, an epidemic model and the contact process.
