Chase-Escape is a simple stochastic model that describes a predator-prey interaction. In this model, there are two types of particles, red and blue. Red particles colonize adjacent empty sites at an exponential rate $lambda_{R}$, whereas blue particles take over adjacent red sites at exponential rate $lambda_{B}$, but can never colonize empty sites directly. Numerical simulations suggest that there is a critical value $p_{c}$ for the relative growth rate $p:=lambda_{R}/lambda_{B}$. When $p<p_{c}$, mutual survival of both types of particles has zero probability, and when $p>p_{c}$ mutual survival occurs with positive probability. In particular, $p_{c} approx 0.50$ for the square lattice case ($mathbb Z^{2}$). Our simulations provide a plausible explanation for the critical value. Near the critical value, the set of occupied sites exhibits a fractal nature, and the hole sizes approximately follow a power-law distribution.

Chase-escape percolation is a variation of the standard epidemic spread models. In this model, each site can be in one of three states: unoccupied, occupied by a single prey, or occupied by a single predator. Prey particles spread to neighboring empt y sites at rate $p$, and predator particles spread only to neighboring sites occupied by prey particles at rate $1$, killing the prey particle that existed at that site. It was found that the prey can survive with non-zero probability, if $p>p_c$ with $p_c<1$. Using Monte Carlo simulations on the square lattice, we estimate the value of $p_c = 0.49451 pm 0.00001$, and the critical exponents are consistent with the undirected percolation universality class. We define a discrete-time parallel-update version of the model, which brings out the relation between chase-escape and undirected bond percolation. For all $p < p_c$ in $D$-dimensions, the number of predators in the absorbing configuration has a stretched-exponential distribution in contrast to the exponential distribution in the standard percolation theory. We also study the problem starting from the line initial condition with predator particles on all lattice points of the line $y=0$ and prey particles on the line $y=1$. In this case, for $p_c<p < 1$, the center of mass of the fluctuating prey and predator fronts travel at the same speed. This speed is strictly smaller than the speed of an Eden front with the same value of $p$, but with no predators. At $p=1$, the fronts undergo a depinning transition. The fluctuations of the front follow Kardar-Parisi-Zhang scaling both above and below this depinning transition.
We introduce a 2-layer network model for the study of the immunization dynamics in epidemics. Spreading of an epidemic is modeled as an excitatory process in a small-world network (body layer) while immunization by prevention for the disease as a dyn amic process in a scale-free network (head layer). It is shown that prevention indeed turns periodic rages of an epidemic into small fluctuation. The study also reveals that, in a certain situation, prevention actually plays an adverse role and helps the disease survive. We argue that the presence of two different characteristic time scales contributes to the immunization dynamics observed.
Chase-escape is a competitive growth process in which red particles spread to adjacent uncolored sites, while blue particles overtake adjacent red particles. We introduce the variant in which red particles die and describe the phase diagram for the r esulting process on infinite d-ary trees. A novel connection to weighted Catalan numbers makes it possible to characterize the critical behavior.

We study a competitive stochastic growth model called chase-escape in which red particles spread to adjacent uncolored sites and blue only to adjacent red sites. Red particles are killed when blue occupies the same site. If blue has rate-1 passage ti mes and red rate-$lambda$, a phase transition occurs for the probability red escapes to infinity on $mathbb Z^d$, $d$-ary trees, and the ladder graph $mathbb Z times {0,1}$. The result on the tree was known, but we provide a new, simpler calculation of the critical value, and observe that it is a lower bound for a variety of graphs. We conclude by showing that red can be stochastically slower than blue, but still escape with positive probability for large enough $d$ on oriented $mathbb Z^d$ with passage times that resemble Bernoulli bond percolation.
Two-dimensional Ising models on the honeycomb lattice and the square lattice with striped random impurities are studied to obtain their phase diagrams. Assuming bimodal distributions of the random impurities where all the non-zero couplings have the same magnitude, exact critical values for the fraction p of ferromagnetic bonds at the zero-temperature (T=0) are obtained. The critical lines in the p-T plane are drawn by numerically evaluating the Lyapunov exponent of random matrix products.
