Majority Bootstrap Percolation on $G(n,p)$

Abstract

Majority bootstrap percolation on a graph GG is an epidemic process defined in the following manner. Firstly, an initially infected set of vertices is selected. Then step by step the vertices that have more infected than non-infected neighbours are infected. We say that percolation occurs if eventually all vertices in GG become infected. In this paper we study majority bootstrap percolation on the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph G(n,p)G(n,p) above the connectivity threshold. Perhaps surprisingly, the results obtained for small pp are comparable to the results for the hypercube obtained by Balogh, Bollob\'as and Morris (2009).
