Abstract

The bunkbed of a graph GG is the graph G×{0,1}G\times\left\{ 0,1\right\} . It has been conjectured that in the independent bond percolation model, the probability for (u,0)\left(u,0\right) to be connected with (v,0)\left(v,0\right) is greater than the probability for (u,0)\left(u,0\right) to be connected with (v,1)\left(v,1\right), for any vertex uu, vv of GG. In this article, we prove this conjecture for the complete graph in the case of the independent bond percolation of parameter p1/2p\geqslant1/2.
