Review text

In the threshold contact process on the \(d\)-dimensional integer lattice with range \(r\), healthy sites become infected at rate \(\lambda\) if they have at least one infected \(r\)-neighbour, and recover at rate 1. We show that the critical value \(\lambda_c (r)\) is asymptotic to \(r^{-d} \mu_c\) as \(r \to \infty\), where \(\mu_c\) is the critical value of the birth rate \(\mu\) for a continuum threshold contact process which may be described in terms of an oriented continuous percolation model driven by a Poisson process of rate \(\mu\) in \(d + 1\) dimensions. We have bounds of \(0.7320 < \mu_c < 3\) for \(d = 1\).
