present recent results on the contact process on two specific types of
scale-free, inhomogeneous random networks that evolve either through edge
resampling or by resampling entire neighborhoods of vertices. Depending on the
type of graph, the selected stationary dynamic, the tail exponent of the degree
distribution, and the updating rate, we identify parameter regimes that result
in either fast or slow extinction. In the latter case, we determine metastable
exponents that exhibit first-order phase transitions. This is joint work with
Emmanuel Jacob (ENS Lyon) and Peter Mörters (Universität zu Köln).</span></p>
