The time of bootstrap percolation in two dimensions

Abstract

We study the distribution of the percolation time T of 2-neighbour bootstrap percolation on [ n] 2 with initial set A∼ Bin ([ n] 2, p). We determine T up to a constant factor with high probability for all p above the critical probability for percolation, and to within a 1 + o(1) factor for a large range of p.
