Abstract

Bootstrap percolation on a graph with infection threshold rNr\in \mathbb{N} is an infection process, which starts from a set of initially infected vertices and in each step every vertex with at least rr infected neighbours becomes infected. We consider bootstrap percolation on the binomial random graph G(n,p)G(n,p), which was investigated among others by Janson, \L uczak, Turova and Valier (2012). We improve their results by strengthening the probability bounds for the number of infected vertices at the end of the process.
