It is important for practitioners to conceptualize and tailor a prototype in tune with the users' expectations in the early stages of the design life cycle so the modifications of the product design in advanced phases are...
Absorbing-state phase transition and activated random walks with unbounded capacities
In this article, we study the existence of an absorbing-state phase transition of an Abelian process that generalises the Activated Random Walk (ARW). Given a vertex transitive G = (V;E), we associate to each site x 2 V a...
