We study the distribution of ages in the mean field forest fire model introduced by Rath and Toth. This model is an evolving random graph whose dynamics combine Erdős-Renyi edge-addition with a Poisson rain of lightning strikes. All edges in a connected component are deleted when any of its vertices is struck by lightning. We consider the asymptotic regime of lightning rates for which the model displays self-organized criticality. The age of a vertex increases at unit rate, but it is reset to… CONTINUE READING
