Inhomogeneous percolation on ladder graphs

Abstract

We define an inhomogeneous percolation model on "ladder graphs" obtained as direct products of an arbitrary graph G=(V,E)G = (V,E) and the set of integers Z\mathbb{Z} (vertices are thought of as having a "vertical" component indexed by an integer). We make two natural choices for the set of edges, producing an unoriented graph G\mathbb{G} and an oriented graph G\vec{\mathbb{G}}. These graphs are endowed with percolation configurations in which independently, edges inside a fixed infinite "column" are open with probability qq, and all other edges are open with probability pp. For all fixed qq one can define the critical percolation threshold pc(q)p_c(q). We show that this function is continuous in (0,1)(0, 1).
