Abstract
(Free for members, £2 for non-members)
Bootstrap percolation, introduced by Chalupa, Leath and Reich in 1979, is one of the simplest cellular automata. In the talk we shall present a selection of problems and results concerning it, from coffee-time questions to major results and unsolved problems.
Series This talk is part of the The Archimedeans (CU Mathematical Society) series.
