Abstract

For a given graph G, let \(\theta _{G}(p) = P_{p}(0 \leftrightarrow \infty )\) (or just θ(p) when G is clear from the context). From the definition of p c we know that θ(p) = 0 for any p < p c , and θ(p) > 0 whenever p > p c . A major and natural question that arises is: Does θ(p c )= 0 or θ(p c ) > 0?.
