In this note, we consider the frog model on $mathbb{Z}^d$ and a two-type version of it with two types of particles. For the one-type model, we show that the asymptotic shape does not depend on the initially activated set and the configuration there. For the two-type model, we show that the possibility for the types to coexist in that both of them activate infinitely many particles does not depend on the choice of the initially activated sets and the configurations there.

The frog model is an interacting particle system on a graph. Active particles perform independent simple random walks, while sleeping particles remain inert until visited by an active particle. Some number of sleeping particles are placed at each site sampled independently from a certain distribution, and then one particle is activated to begin the process. We show that the recurrence or transience of the model is sensitive not just to the expectation but to the entire distribution. This is in contrast to closely related models like branching random walk and activated random walk.
The frog model on the rooted d-ary tree changes from transient to recurrent as the number of frogs per site is increased. We prove that the location of this transition is on the same order as the degree of the tree.
We provide a uniform upper bound on the minimal drift so that the one-per-site frog model on a $d$-ary tree is recurrent. To do this, we introduce a subprocess that couples across trees with different degrees. Finding couplings for frog models on nested sequences of graphs is known to be difficult. The upper bound comes from combining the coupling with a new, simpler proof that the frog model on a binary tree is recurrent when the drift is sufficiently strong. Additionally, we describe a coupling between frog models on trees for which the degree of the smaller tree divides that of the larger one. This implies that the critical drift has a limit as $d$ tends to infinity along certain subsequences.
We introduce an extension of the frog model to Euclidean space and prove properties for the spread of active particles. Fix $r>0$ and place a particle at each point $x$ of a unit intensity Poisson point process $mathcal P subseteq mathbb R^d - mathbb B(0,r)$. Around each point in $mathcal{P}$, put a ball of radius $r$. A particle at the origin performs Brownian motion. When it hits the ball around $x$ for some $x in mathcal P$, new particles begin independent Brownian motions from the centers of the balls in the cluster containing $x$. Subsequent visits to the cluster do nothing. This waking process continues indefinitely. For $r$ smaller than the critical threshold of continuum percolation, we show that the set of activated points in $mathcal P$ approximates a linearly expanding ball. Moreover, in any fixed ball the set of active particles converges to a unit intensity Poisson point process.
The frog model is an infection process in which dormant particles begin moving and infecting others once they become infected. We show that on the rooted $d$-ary tree with particle density $Omega(d^2)$, the set of visited sites contains a linearly expanding ball and the number of visits to the root grows linearly with high probability.
