Abstract

Consider a pp-random subset AA of initially infected vertices in the discrete cube [L]3[L]^3, 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{1,2,3}i \in \{1,2,3\}, where a1a2a3a_1\le a_2\le a_3. Suppose we infect any healthy vertex v[L]3v\in [L]^3 already having rr infected neighbours, and that infected sites remain infected forever. In this paper we determine log\log of the critical length for percolation up to a constant factor, for all r{a3+1,,a3+a2}r\in \{a_3+1, \dots, a_3+a_2\} with a3a1+a2a_3\ge a_1+a_2. We moreover give upper bounds for all remaining cases a3<a1+a2a_3 < a_1+a_2 and believe that they are tight up to a constant factor.
