Popis: | We study the supercritical contact process on Galton-Watson trees and periodic trees. We prove that if the contact process survives weakly then it dominates a supercritical Crump-Mode-Jagers branching process. Hence the number of infected sites grows exponentially fast. As a consequence we conclude that the contact process dies out at the critical value $\lambda _{1}$ for weak survival, and the survival probability $p(\lambda )$ is continuous with respect to the infection rate $\lambda $. Applying this fact, we show the contact process on a general periodic tree experiences two phase transitions in the sense that $\lambda _{1} |
