Abstract
We consider random dynamics on a uniform random recursive tree with n vertices. Successively, in a uniform random order, each edge is either set on fire with some probability pn or fireproof with probability 1âpn. Fires propagate in the tree and are only stopped by fireproof edges. We first consider the proportion of burnt and fireproof vertices as nââ, and prove a phase transition when pn is of order lnn/n. We then study the connectivity of the fireproof forest, more precisely the existence of a giant component. We finally investigate the sizes of the burnt subtrees.
