Title
Minimal Percolating Sets in Bootstrap Percolation.
Abstract
In standard bootstrap percolation, a subset A of the grid [n](2) is initially infected. A new site is then infected if at least two of its neighbours are infected, and an infected site stays infected forever. The set A is said to percolate if eventually the entire grid is infected. A percolating set is said to be minimal if none of its subsets percolate. Answering a question of Bollobas, we show that there exists a minimal percolating set of size 4n(2) /33 + o(n(2)), but there does not exist one larger than (n+2)(2)/6.
