We consider the Erd\"{o}s--R\'{e}nyi random graph $G_{n,p}$ and we analyze the simple irreversible epidemic process on the graph, known in the literature as bootstrap percolation. We give a quantitative version of some results by Janson et…
Recent experimental studies of living neural networks reveal that their global activation induced by electrical stimulation can be explained using the concept of bootstrap percolation on a directed random network. The experiment consists in…
The diffusion and bootstrap percolation models were studied in regular random and Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi networks using the modified Newman-Ziff algorithms. We calculated the percolation threshold and the order parameter of the percolation…
We study a variant of bootstrap percolation in which growth is restricted to a single active cluster. Initially there is a single active site at the origin, while other sites of Z^2 are independently occupied with small probability p,…
We present an algorithm to compute the exact probability $R_{n}(p)$ for a site percolation cluster to span an $n\times n$ square lattice at occupancy $p$. The algorithm has time and space complexity $O(\lambda^n)$ with $\lambda \approx…
Let $T$ be a regular rooted tree. For every natural number $n$, let $B_n$ be the finite subtree of vertices with graph distance at most $n$ from the root. Consider the following forest-fire model on $B_n$: Each vertex can be "vacant" or…
We evaluate the percolation threshold values for a realistic model of continuum segregated systems, where random spherical inclusions forbid the percolating objects, modellized by hard-core spherical particles surrounded by penetrable…
Bootstrap percolation is a class of cellular automata with random initial state. Two-dimensional bootstrap percolation models have three rough universality classes, the most studied being the `critical' one. For this class the scaling of…
We investigate a limit theorem on traversable length inside semi-cylinder in the 2-dimensional supercritical Bernoulli bond percolation, which gives an extension of Theorem 2 in Grimmett(1981). This type of limit theorems was originally…
In the polluted modified bootstrap percolation model, sites in the square lattice are independently initially occupied with probability $p$ or closed with probability $q$. A site becomes occupied at a subsequent step if it is not closed and…
Answering questions of Itai Benjamini, we show that the event of complete occupation in 2-neighbour bootstrap percolation on the d-dimensional box [n]^d, for d\geq 2, at its critical initial density p_c(n), is noise sensitive, while in…
Assign to each vertex of the one-dimensional torus i.i.d. weights with a heavy-tail of index $\tau-1>0$. Connect then each couple of vertices with probability roughly proportional to the product of their weights and that decays polynomially…
We propose very efficient algorithms for the bootstrap percolation and the diffusion percolation models by extending the Newman-Ziff algorithm of the classical percolation [M. E. J. Newman and R. M. Ziff, Phys. Rev. Lett. 85 (2000) 4104].…
An irreversible $k$-threshold process (also a $k$-neighbor bootstrap percolation) is a dynamic process on a graph where vertices change color from white to black if they have at least $k$ black neighbors. An irreversible $k$-conversion set…
In the bootstrap percolation model, sites in an $L$ by $L$ square are initially independently declared active with probability $p$. At each time step, an inactive site becomes active if at least two of its four neighbours are active. We…
We introduce a method to prove metastability of the contact process on Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graphs and on configuration model graphs. The method relies on uniformly bounding the total infection rate from below, over all sets with a fixed…
Two-dimensional bootstrap percolation is usually characterized by bulk observables, but whether increasing the activation threshold qualitatively reorganizes the geometry of the absorbing state has remained unclear. Here we show that the…
Consider the following model of strong-majority bootstrap percolation on a graph. Let r be some positive integer, and p in [0,1]. Initially, every vertex is active with probability p, independently from all other vertices. Then, at every…
Consider the indicator function $f$ of a two-dimensional percolation crossing event. In this paper, the Fourier transform of $f$ is studied and sharp bounds are obtained for its lower tail in several situations. Various applications of…
Chase-escape percolation is a variation of the standard epidemic spread models. In this model, each site can be in one of three states: unoccupied, occupied by a single prey, or occupied by a single predator. Prey particles spread to…
