The contact process on a bipartite spatial network

Abstract

We study the contact process on a random bipartite graph generated from two Poisson point processes, with mark-dependent connection thresholds. For asymmetric infection rates and asymmetric power law tail decays of the two degree distributions, we determine the dominant survival strategies in all pa- rameter regimes and provide asymptotics for the epidemic probability up to logarithmic factors.
