Abstract

Consider a pp-random subset AA of initially infected vertices in the discrete cube [L]d[L]^d, and assume that the neighbourhood of each vertex consists of the aia_i nearest neighbours in the ±ei\pm e_i-directions for each i{1,2,,d}i \in \{1,2,\dots, d\}, where a1a2ada_1\le a_2\le \dots \le a_d. Suppose we infect any healthy vertex v[L]dv\in [L]^d already having rr infected neighbours, and that infected sites remain infected forever. In this paper we determine the (d1)(d-1)-times iterated logarithm of the critical length for percolation up to a constant factor, for all dd-tuples (a1,,ad)(a_1,\dots ,a_d) and all r{a2++ad+1,,a1+a2++ad}r\in \{a_2+\dots + a_d+1, \dots, a_1+a_2+\dots + a_d\}. Moreover, we reduce the problem of determining this (coarse) threshold for all d3d\ge 3 and all r{ad+1,,a1+a2++ad}r\in \{a_d+1, \dots, a_1+a_2+\dots + a_d\}, to that of determining the threshold for all d3d\ge 3 and all r{ad+1,,ad1+ad}r\in \{ a_d+1, \dots, a_{d-1} + a_d\}.
