Abstract

An upper bound for the critical probability of the range-R bond percolation in d=2 and d=3 is obtained by connecting the bond percolation with the SIR epidemic model, thus complementing the lower bound result in Frei and Perkins (Electron. J. Probab. 21 (2016) Paper No. 56, 1–22).

Une borne supérieure pour la probabilité critique de la percolation par arêtes de portée R dans d=2 et d=3 est obtenue en connectant le modèle de percolation avec le modèle épidémique SIR, complétant ainsi le résultat dans Frei et Perkins (Electron. J. Probab. 21 (2016) Paper No. 56, 1–22) qui donne une borne inférieure.
