Abstract

A graph GG percolates in the Kr,sK_{r,s}-bootstrap process if we can add all missing edges of GG in some order such that each edge creates a new copy of Kr,sK_{r,s}, where Kr,sK_{r,s} is the complete bipartite graph. We study Kr,sK_{r,s}-bootstrap percolation on the Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi random graph, and determine the percolation threshold for balanced Kr,sK_{r,s} up to a logarithmic factor. This partially answers a question raised by Balogh, Bollob\'as, and Morris. We also establish a general lower bound of the percolation threshold for all Kr,sK_{r,s}, with rs3r\geq s \geq 3.
