\emph{Full-bond percolation} with parameter $p$ is the process in which, given a graph, for every edge independently, we delete the edge with probability $1-p$. Bond percolation is motivated by problems in mathematical physics and it is…

We study the bond percolation game and the site percolation game on the rooted Galton-Watson tree $T_{\chi}$ with offspring distribution $\chi$. We obtain the probabilities of win, loss and draw for each player in terms of the fixed points…

We study a rumour model from a percolation theory and branching process point of view. The existence of a giant component is related to the event where the rumour, which started from the root of a tree, spreads out through an infinite…

Given two independent Poisson point processes $\Phi^{(1)},\Phi^{(2)}$ in $R^d$, the continuum AB percolation model is the graph with points of $\Phi^{(1)}$ as vertices and with edges between any pair of points for which the intersection of…

We consider the extinction time of the contact process on increasing sequences of finite graphs obtained from a variety of random graph models. Under the assumption that the infection rate is above the critical value for the process on the…

In this article, we study a simple random walk on a decorated Galton-Watson tree, obtained from a Galton-Watson tree by replacing each vertex of degree $n$ with an independent copy of a graph $G_n$ and gluing the inserted graphs along the…

We study asymptotic percolation as $N\to \infty$ in an infinite random graph ${\cal G}_N$ embedded in the hierarchical group of order $N$, with connection probabilities depending on an ultrametric distance between vertices. ${\cal G}_N$ is…

We consider a classic model known as bootstrap percolation on the $n \times n$ square grid. To each vertex of the grid we assign an initial state, infected or healthy, and then in consecutive rounds we infect every healthy vertex that has…

We show that the contact process on a random $d$-regular graph initiated by a single infected vertex obeys the "cutoff phenomenon" in its supercritical phase. In particular, we prove that when the infection rate is larger than the critical…

Graph-bootstrap percolation, also known as weak saturation, was introduced by Bollob\'as in 1968. In this process, we start with initial "infected" set of edges $E_0$, and we infect new edges according to a predetermined rule. Given a graph…

We study the distribution of the percolation time $T$ of two-neighbour bootstrap percolation on $[n]^2$ with initial set $A\sim\mathrm{Bin}([n]^2,p)$. We determine $T$ with high probability up to a constant factor for all $p$ above the…

We give a characterization of the percolation threshold for a multirange model on oriented trees, as the first positive root of a polynomial, with the use of a multi-type Galton-Watson process. This gives in particular the exact value of…

Consider a graph $G$ and an initial random configuration, where each node is black with probability $p$ and white otherwise, independently. In discrete-time rounds, each node becomes black if it has at least $r$ black neighbors and white…

A rotor-router walk on a graph is a deterministic process, in which each vertex is endowed with a rotor that points to one of the neighbors. A particle located at some vertex first rotates the rotor in a prescribed order, and then it is…
