"Limit theorems for non-attractive Domany-Kinzel model",

( with Makoto KATORI and Norio KONNO)
Ann. Probab. 30 (2002), no. 2, 933-947


We study the Domany-Kinzel model, which is a class of discrete time Markov processes with two parameters (p_1,p_2) \in [0,1]^2 and whose states are subsets of Z, the set of integers. When p_1=ƒΏƒΐ and p_2=(2ƒΐ-ƒΐ^2) with (ƒΏ,ƒΐ) \in [0,1]^2, the process can be identified with the mixed site-bond oriented percolation model on a square lattice with the probabilities of open site ƒΏand of open bond ƒΐ. For the attractive case, 0<=p_1<=p_2<=1, the compete convergence theorem is easily obtained. On the other hand, the case (p_1,p_2)=(1,0) realizes the rule 90 cellular automaton of Wolframe in which, starting form the Bernoulli measure with density \theta, the distribution converges weakly only if \theta \in {0,1/2,1}. Using our new construction of processes based on signed measures, we prove limit theorems which are also valid for non-attractive case with (p_1,p_2) = (1,0). In particular, when p_2 \in [0,1] and p_1 is close to 1, the complete convergence theorem is obtained as a corollary of the limit theorems.
