A large deviation approach to super-critical bootstrap percolation on the random graph Gn,p

Abstract: We consider the Erdös-Rényi random graph G n,p and we analyze the simple irreversible epidemic process on the graph, known in the literature as bootstrap percolation. We give a quantitative version of some results by Janson et al. (2012), providing a fine asymptotic analysis of the final size A * n of active nodes, under a suitable super-critical regime. More specifically, we establish large deviation principles for the sequence of random variables { n−A * n f (n) } n≥1 with explicit rate functions and allowin… Show more

“…A different approach is to look at rare events arising from atypical initial conditions such as a low number of "infected" or "damaged" nodes evolving by contact or percolation dynamics to a large connected component [7][8][9][10][11]. Similarly, one can study how an initially large population spread on a network becomes extinct in time [12][13][14][15][16] or how a process transitions, more generally, between macroscopically distinct states [17].…”

“…Torrisi et al [33] established a full large deviations principle in the supercritical case, α > 1, where typically |I * | ∼ n. As discussed in [33], the main step in this regard is establishing sharp tail estimates (as in our Theorem 3 above). The full large deviations principle then follows by "elementary topological considerations."…”
