We
consider the forest fire process on Z: on each site, seeds and matches fall at
random, according to some independent Poisson processes. When a seed falls on a
vacant site, a tree immediately grows. When a match falls on an occupied site, a
fire destroys immediately the corresponding occupied connected component. We
are interested in the asymptotics of rare fires. We prove that, under
space/time re-scaling, the process converges (as matches become rarer and
rarer) to a limit forest fire process. |
