Abstract

We consider the standard model of i.i.d. first passage percolation on Zd\mathbb{Z}^d given a distribution GG on [0,+][0,+\infty] (++\infty is allowed). When G([0,+])<pc(d)G([0,+\infty]) < p_c(d), it is known that the time constant μG\mu_G exists. We are interested in the regularity properties of the map GμGG\mapsto\mu_G. We first study the specific case of distributions of the form Gp=pδ1+(1p)δG_p=p\delta_1+(1-p)\delta_\infty for p>pc(d)p>p_c(d). In this case, the travel time between two points is equal to the length of the shortest path between the two points in a bond percolation of parameter pp. We show that the function pμGpp\mapsto \mu_{G_p} is Lipschitz continuous on every interval [p0,1][p_0,1], where p0>pc(d)p_0>p_c(d).
