Monotonicity of the critical point in two-dimensional oriented percolation with enhancement

Probability 2026-03-03 v2

Abstract

In this note, we investigate Bernoulli oriented bond percolation with parameter pp on Z2\mathbb{Z}^2. In addition to the standard edges, which are open with probability pp, we introduce diagonal edges each open with probability ε\varepsilon. Every edge is open or closed independently of all other edges. We prove that the critical parameter for this model is strictly decreasing in ε\varepsilon.
