Abstract

In this paper we consider first passage percolation on the square lattice Zd\mathbb{Z}^d with passage times that are independent and have bounded pthp^{th} moment for some p>6(1+d),p > 6(1+d), but not necessarily identically distributed. For integer n1,n \geq 1, let T(0,n)T(0,n) be the minimum time needed to reach the point (n,0)(n,\mathbf{0}) from the origin. We prove that 1n(T(0,n)ET(0,n))\frac{1}{n}\left(T(0,n) - \mathbb{E}T(0,n)\right) converges to zero in L2L^2 and use a subsequence argument to obtain almost sure convergence. As a corollary, for i.i.d. passage times, we also obtain the usual almost sure convergence of T(0,n)n\frac{T(0,n)}{n} to a constant μ.\mu.
