Abstract

We have generalized the idea of backbend in a nearest-neighbor oriented bond percolation process by considering a backbend sequence β:Z+Z+{}\beta : \mathbb{Z}_+ \to \mathbb{Z}_+ \cup \{\infty\}, and defining a β\beta-backbend path from the origin as a path that never retreats further than β(h)\beta(h) levels back from its record level hh. We study the relationship between the critical probabilities of different percolation processes based on different backbend sequences on half-space, full-space, and half-slabs of the dd-dimensional (d2d \geq 2) body-centered cubic (BCC) lattice. We also give sufficient conditions on the backbend sequences such that there will be no percolation at the critical probabilities of the corresponding percolation processes on half-space and full-space of the BCC lattice.
