Abstract
Let be the -dimensional binary hypercube. We say that is an increasing path of length in , if for every the edge is obtained by switching some zero coordinate in to a one coordinate in . Form a random subgraph by retaining each edge in independently with probability . We show that there is a phase transition with respect to the length of a longest increasing path around . Let be a constant and let . When , then there exists a such that whp a longest increasing path in is of length at most . On the other hand, when , whp there is a path of length in , and in fact, whether it is of length , or depends on whether the all-zero and all-one vertices percolate or not.
