We introduce a model of random interlacements made of a countable collection of doubly infinite paths on Z^d, d bigger or equal to 3. A non-negative parameter u measures how many trajectories enter the picture. This model describes in the…
We prove Schramm's locality conjecture for Bernoulli bond percolation on transitive graphs: If $(G_n)_{n\geq 1}$ is a sequence of infinite vertex-transitive graphs converging locally to a vertex-transitive graph $G$ and $p_c(G_n) \neq 1$…
Given an integer $r\ge1$ and graphs $G, H_1, \ldots, H_r$, we write $G \rightarrow ({H}_1, \ldots, {H}_r)$ if every $r$-coloring of the edges of $G$ contains a monochromatic copy of $H_i$ in color $i$ for some $i\in\{1, \ldots, r\}$. A…
We study the mutual percolation of two interdependent lattice networks ranging from two to seven dimensions, denoted as $D$. We impose that the length of interdependent links connecting nodes in the two lattices be less than or equal to a…
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 inhomogeneous Bernoulli bond percolation on the graph $G \times \mathbb{Z}$, where $G$ is a connected quasi-transitive graph. The inhomogeneity is introduced through a random region $R$ around the origin axis…
A region of two-dimensional space has been filled randomly with large number of growing circular discs allowing only a `slight' overlapping among them just before their growth stop. More specifically, each disc grows from a nucleation…
We construct explicit $\delta$-bracketing covers with minimal cardinality for the set system of (anchored) rectangles in the two dimensional unit cube. More precisely, the cardinality of these $\delta$-bracketing covers are bounded from…
We have generalized the idea of backbend in a nearest-neighbor oriented bond percolation process by considering a backbend sequence $\beta : \mathbb{Z}_+ \to \mathbb{Z}_+ \cup \{\infty\}$, and defining a $\beta$-backbend path from the…
Let $ \mathbb{L}^{d} = ( \mathbb{Z}^{d},\mathbb{E}^{d} ) $ be the $ d $-dimensional hypercubic lattice. We consider a model of inhomogeneous Bernoulli percolation on $ \mathbb{L}^{d} $ in which every edge inside the $ s $-dimensional…
Let a random geometric graph be defined in the supercritical regime for the existence of a unique infinite connected component in Euclidean space. Consider the first-passage percolation model with independent and identically distributed…
The site and bond percolation problems are conventionally studied on (hyper)cubic lattices, which afford straightforward numerical treatments. The recent implementation of efficient simulation algorithms for high-dimensional systems now…
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 bootstrap percolation it is known that the critical percolation threshold tends to converge slowly to zero with increasing system size, or, inversely, the critical size diverges fast when the percolation probability goes to zero. To…
The $2$-packing number $\rho_2(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the cardinality of a largest $2$-packing of $G$ and the open packing number $\rho^{\rm o}(G)$ is the cardinality of a largest open packing of $G$, where an open packing (resp.…
We study Voronoi percolation on a large class of $d$-dimensional Riemannian manifolds, which includes the hyperbolic spaces $\mathbb{H}^d$, $d\geq 2$. We prove that as the intensity $\lambda$ of the underlying Poisson point process tends to…
The Hamming graph $H(d,n)$ is the Cartesian product of $d$ complete graphs on $n$ vertices. Let $m=d(n-1)$ be the degree and $V = n^d$ be the number of vertices of $H(d,n)$. Let $p_c^{(d)}$ be the critical point for bond percolation on…
We consider the standard model of i.i.d. first passage percolation on Z^d given a distribution G on [0, +$\infty$] (including +$\infty$). We suppose that G({0}) > 1 -- p\_c(d), i.e., the edges of positive passage time are in the subcritical…
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…
We consider the Bernoulli bond percolation process (with parameter $p$) on infinite graphs and we give a general criterion for bounded degree graphs to exhibit a non-trivial percolation threshold based either on a single isoperimetric…
