Tertiles and the time constant

Probability 2020-07-22 v2

Abstract

We consider planar first-passage percolation and show that the time constant can be bounded by multiples of the first and second tertiles of the weight distribution. As a consequence we obtain a counter-example to a problem proposed by Alm and Deijfen.
