Abstract

The frog model is an infection process in which dormant particles begin moving and infecting others once they become infected. We show that on the rooted $d$-ary tree with particle density $\Omega (d^{2})$, the set of visited sites contains a linearly expanding ball and the number of visits to the root grows linearly with high probability.
