In $r$-neighbor bootstrap percolation on the vertex set of a graph $G$, a set $A$ of initially infected vertices spreads by infecting, at each time step, all uninfected vertices with at least $r$ previously infected neighbors. When the…

The $r$-edge bootstrap percolation on a graph is an activation process of the edges. The process starts with some initially activated edges and then, in each round, any inactive edge whose one of endpoints is incident to at least $r$ active…

Bootstrap percolation on a graph with infection threshold $r\in \mathbb{N}$ is an infection process, which starts from a set of initially infected vertices and in each step every vertex with at least $r$ infected neighbours becomes…

For graphs $H$, we study the extremal function $M_H(n)$ which is the maximum running time (until stabilisation) of an $H$-bootstrap percolation process on $n$ vertices. Building on previous work in the clique case $H=K_k$, we develop a…

For fixed $r\geq 2$, we consider bootstrap percolation with threshold $r$ on the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph ${\cal G}_{n,p}$. We identify a threshold for $p$ above which there is with high probability a set of size $r$ which can infect the…

We investigate bootstrap percolation with infection threshold $r> 1$ on the binomial $k$-uniform random hypergraph $H_k(n,p)$ in the regime $n^{-1}\ll n^{k-2}p \ll n^{-1/r}$, when the initial set of infected vertices is chosen uniformly at…

As introduced by Bollob\'as, a graph $G$ is weakly $H$-saturated if the complete graph $K_n$ is obtained by iteratively completing copies of $H$ minus an edge. For all graphs $H$, we obtain an asymptotic lower bound for the critical…

The $r$-neighbour bootstrap process on a graph $G$ begins with a set of infected vertices; subsequently, healthy vertices become infected once they have at least $r$ infected neighbours. The central extremal problem in bootstrap percolation…

In $\HH$-bootstrap percolation, a set $A \subset V(\HH)$ of initially 'infected' vertices spreads by infecting vertices which are the only uninfected vertex in an edge of the hypergraph $\HH$. A particular case of this is the $H$-bootstrap…

The $r$-neighbor bootstrap percolation is a graph infection process based on the update rule by which a vertex with $r$ infected neighbors becomes infected. We say that an initial set of infected vertices propagates if all vertices of a…

Given a hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$, the $\mathcal{H}$-bootstrap process starts with an initial set of infected vertices of $\mathcal{H}$ and, at each step, a healthy vertex $v$ becomes infected if there exists a hyperedge of $\mathcal{H}$ in…

The notion of weak saturation was introduced by Bollob\'as in 1968. Let $F$ and $H$ be graphs. A spanning subgraph $G \subseteq F$ is weakly $(F,H)$-saturated if it contains no copy of $H$ but there exists an ordering $e_1,\ldots,e_t$ of…

Bootstrap Percolation is a process defined on a graph which begins with an initial set of infected vertices. In each subsequent round, an uninfected vertex becomes infected if it is adjacent to at least $r$ previously infected vertices. If…

Given two graphs $G$ and $H$, it is said that $G$ percolates in $H$-bootstrap process if one could join all the nonadjacent pairs of vertices of $G$ in some order such that a new copy of $H$ is created at each step. Balogh, Bollob\'as and…
