Deterministic bootstrap percolation in high dimensional grids

Combinatorics 2013-09-05 v2

Abstract

In this paper, we study the k-neighbor bootstrap percolation process on the d-dimensional grid [n]^d, and show that the minimum number of initial vertices that percolate is (1-d/k)n^d + O(n^{d-1})$ when d<=k<=2d. This confirms a conjecture of Pete.
