In this paper we determine the percolation threshold for an arbitrary sequence of dense graphs $(G_n)$. Let $\lambda_n$ be the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of $G_n$, and let $G_n(p_n)$ be the random subgraph of $G_n$ obtained…

We establish the existence of the phase transition in site percolation on pseudo-random $d$-regular graphs. Let $G=(V,E)$ be an $(n,d,\lambda)$-graph, that is, a $d$-regular graph on $n$ vertices in which all eigenvalues of the adjacency…

Many processes of spreading and diffusion take place on temporal networks, and their outcomes are influenced by correlations in the times of contact. These correlations have a particularly strong influence on processes where the spreading…

Jigsaw percolation is a model for the process of solving puzzles within a social network, which was recently proposed by Brummitt, Chatterjee, Dey and Sivakoff. In the model there are two graphs on a single vertex set (the `people' graph…

We study the two most common types of percolation process on a sparse random graph with a given degree sequence. Namely, we examine first a bond percolation process where the edges of the graph are retained with probability p and afterwards…

In Poisson percolation each edge becomes open after an independent exponentially distributed time with rate that decreases in the distance from the origin. As a sequel to our work on the square lattice, we describe the limiting shape of the…

We examine bootstrap percolation in d-dimensional, directed metric graphs in the context of recent measurements of firing dynamics in 2D neuronal cultures. There are two regimes, depending on the graph size N. Large metric graphs are…

We consider the following oriented percolation model of $\mathbb {N} \times \mathbb{Z}^d$: we equip $\mathbb {N}\times \mathbb{Z}^d$ with the edge set $\{[(n,x),(n+1,y)] | n\in \mathbb {N}, x,y\in \mathbb{Z}^d\}$, and we say that each edge…

Let $G$ be a vertex-transitive graph of superlinear polynomial growth. Given $r>0$, let $G_r$ be the graph on the same vertex set as $G$, with two vertices joined by an edge if and only if they are at graph distance at most $r$ apart in…

We study a random graph $G$ with given degree sequence $\boldsymbol{d}$, with the aim of characterising the degree sequence of the subgraph induced on a given set $S$ of vertices. For suitable $\boldsymbol{d}$ and $S$, we show that the…

Bootstrap percolation is a wide class of monotone cellular automata with random initial state. In this work we develop tools for studying in full generality one of the three `universality' classes of bootstrap percolation models in two…

We consider a version of continuum long-range percolation on finite boxes of $\mathbb{R}^d$ in which the vertex set is given by the points of a Poisson point process and each pair of two vertices at distance $r$ is connected with…

We analyse the jigsaw percolation process, which may be seen as a measure of whether two graphs on the same vertex set are `jointly connected'. Bollob\'as, Riordan, Slivken and Smith proved that when the two graphs are independent binomial…

We study the stationary distribution of the (spread-out) $d$-dimensional contact process from the point of view of site percolation. In this process, vertices of $\mathbb{Z}^d$ can be healthy (state 0) or infected (state 1). With rate one…

We consider the discrete-time threshold-$\theta \ge 2$ contact process on a random r-regular graph on n vertices. In this process, a vertex with at least \theta occupied neighbors at time t will be occupied at time t+1 with probability p,…

First passage percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^2$ is a model for describing the spread of an infection on the sites of the square lattice. The infection is spread via nearest neighbor sites and the time dynamic is specified by random passage…

In this paper we study the cover time of the simple random walk on the giant component of supercritical $d$-dimensional random geometric graphs on $\mathrm{Poi}(n)$ vertices. We show that the cover time undergoes a jump at the connectivity…

Accessibility percolation is a new type of percolation problem inspired by evolutionary biology. To each vertex of a graph a random number is assigned and a path through the graph is called accessible if all numbers along the path are in…

Bootstrap percolation models have been extensively studied during the two past decades. In this article, we study the following "anisotropic" bootstrap percolation model: the neighborhood of a point (m,n) is the set…

We study the susceptible-infective-recovered (SIR) epidemic on a random graph chosen uniformly subject to having given vertex degrees. In this model infective vertices infect each of their susceptible neighbours, and recover, at a constant…
