Abstract
Multiscale analysis is a technique used in the study of disordered systems in the presence of phenomena similar to Griffiths singularities. In this article we illustrate the use of a multiscale analysis by applying it to a very simple model: percolation in a random environment. We also describe the application of this technique to continuous time percolation and contact processes in random environments.
