The survival probability of the high-dimensional contact process with random vertex weights on the oriented lattice

This paper is a further study of Reference \cite{Xue2015}. We are concerned with the contact process with random vertex weights on the oriented lattice. Our main result gives the asymptotic behavior of the survival probability of the process conditioned on only one vertex is infected at $t=0$ as the dimension grows to infinity. A SIR model and a branching process with random vertex weights are the main auxiliary tools for the proof of the main result.
