The Coverage Ratio of the Frog Model on Complete Graphs

The frog model is a system of interacting random walks. Initially, there is one particle at each vertex of a connected graph. All particles are inactive at time zero, except for the one which is placed at the root of the graph, which is active. At each instant of time, each active particle may die with probability \(1-p\). Once an active particle survives, it jumps on one of its nearest vertices, chosen with uniform probability, performing a discrete time simple symmetric random walk (SRW). Up to the time it dies, it activates all inactive particles it hits along its way. From the moment they are activated, every such particle starts to walk, performing exactly the same dynamics, independent of everything else. In this paper, we consider the \(n-\)complete graph (a finite graph with each pair of vertices linked by an edge). We study the limit in n of the coverage ratio, that is, the proportion of visited vertices by some active particle up to the end of the process, after all active particles have died.
