Extinction and Survival for a Generalized Contact Process with Deterministic Cures

We study a generalized contact process on \(\mathbb{Z}^d\) parameterized by an infection rate \(\lambda\) and a resetting probability \(p \in [0,1]\), modeling deterministic cure times. Once a vertex is infected, its recovery is scheduled exactly one time unit later. Incoming attempts to an already-infected vertex succ...
