Zusammenfassung: | Majority bootstrap percolation is a monotone cellular automata that can be
thought of as a model of infection spreading in networks. Starting with an
initially infected set, new vertices become infected once more than half of
their neighbours are infected. The average case behaviour of this process was
studied on the $n$-dimensional hypercube by Balogh, Bollob\'{a}s and Morris,
who showed that there is a phase transition as the typical density of the
initially infected set increases: For small enough densities the spread of
infection is typically local, whereas for large enough densities typically the
whole graph eventually becomes infected. Perhaps surprisingly, they showed that
the critical window in which this phase transition occurs is bounded away from
$1/2$, and they gave bounds on its width on a finer scale. In this paper we
consider the majority bootstrap percolation process on a class of
high-dimensional geometric graphs which includes many of the graph families on
which percolation processes are typically considered, such as grids, tori and
Hamming graphs, as well as other well-studied families of graphs such as
(bipartite) Kneser graphs, including the odd graph and the middle layer graph.
We show similar quantitative behaviour in terms of the location and width of
the critical window for the majority bootstrap percolation process on this
class of graphs. |
