Abstract

The paper studies wsat(G,H)(G,H) which is the minimum number of edges in a weakly HH-saturated subgraph of GG. We prove that wsat(Kn,H)(K_n,H) is `stable' - remains the same after independent removal of every edge of KnK_n with constant probability - for all pattern graphs HH such that there exists a `local' set of edges percolating in KnK_n. This is true, for example, for cliques and complete bipartite graphs. We also find a threshold probability for the weak K1,tK_{1,t}-saturation stability.
