A lower bound for the critical probability in a certain percolation process

Harris, T. E.·1960·Mathematical Proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical Society

Abstract

Consider a lattice L in the Cartesian plane consisting of all points (x, y) such that either x or y is an integer. Points with integer coordinates (positive, negative, or zero) are called vertices and the sides of the unit squares (including endpoints) are called links. Each link of L is assigned the designation active with probability p or passive with probability 1 − p, independently of all other links. To avoid trivial cases, we shall always assume 0 < p < 1. The lattice L, with the designations active or passive attached to the links, is called a random maze. A set of links is called connected if the points comprising the links (including endpoints) form a connected point set in the plane.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
