Abstract

A stochastic process in which any tree in a forest planted on an integer lattice eliminates its four neighbours when it exceeds their heights, is studied for the case when all heights are independent samples from a continuous distribution. The proportion of the trees of the forest eliminated in this manner is determined for both the one and the two dimensional integer lattices.
