Multisource invasion percolation on the complete graph

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We consider invasion percolation on the randomly-weighted complete graph Kn, started from some number k(n) of distinct source vertices. The outcome of the process is a forest consisting of k(n) trees, each containing exactly one source. Let Mn be the size of the largest tree in this forest. Logan, Molloy and Pralat (arXiv:1806.10975) proved that if k(n)/n1/3o0 then Mn/no1 in probability. In this paper we prove a complementary result: if k(n)/n1/3oinfty then Mn/no0 in probability. This establishes the existence of a phase transition in the structure of the invasion percolation forest around k(n)asympn1/3. Our arguments rely on the connection between invasion percolation and critical percolation, and on a coupling between multi-source invasion percolation with differently-sized source sets. A substantial part of the proof is devoted to showing that, with high probability, a certain fragmentation process on large random binary trees leaves no components of macroscopic size.
