The two common critical probabilities for a lattice graph L are the cluster size critical probability pH(L) and the mean cluster size critical probability pT(L). The values for the honeycomb lattice H and the triangular lattice T are proved to be pH(H) = pT(H) = 1–2 sin (π/18) and PH(T) = pT(T) = 2 sin (π/18). The proof uses the duality relationship and the star-triangle relationship between the two lattices, to find lower bounds for sponge-crossing probabilities.

A probability measure μ on ℝn+ is defined to be strongly new better than used (SNBU) if for all increasing subsets . For n = 1 this is equivalent to being new better than used (NBU distributions play an important role in reliability theory). We derive an inequality concerning products of NBU probability measures, which has as a consequence that if μ1, μ2, ···, μn are NBU probability measures on ℝ+, then the product-measure μ = μ × μ2 × ··· × μn on ℝn+ is SNBU. A discrete analog (i.e., with N instead of ℝ+) also holds.Applications are given to reliability and percolation. The latter are based on a new inequality for Bernoulli sequences, going in the opposite direction to the FKG–Harris inequality. The main application (3.15) gives a lower bound for the tail of the cluster size distribution for bond-percolation at the critical probability. Further applications are simplified proofs of some known results in percolation. A more general inequality (which contains the above as well as the FKG-Harris inequality) is conjectured, and connections with an inequality of Hammersley [12] and others ([17], [19] and [7]) are indicated.

We introduce and study a family of 2D percolation systems which are based on the bond percolation model of the triangular lattice. The system under study has local correlations, however, bonds separated by a few lattice spacings act independently of one another. By avoiding explicit use of microscopic paths, it is first established that the model possesses the typical attributes which are indicative of critical behavior in 2D percolation problems. Subsequently, the so-called Cardy–Carleson functions are demonstrated to satisfy, in the continuum limit, Cardy's formula for crossing probabilities. This extends the results of S. Smirnov to a non-trivial class of critical 2D percolation systems.

The distribution of the number of alleles in samples from r chromosomes is studied. The stochastic model used includes gene conversion within chromosomes and mutation at loci on the chromosomes. A method is described for simulating the distribution of alleles and an algorithm given for computing lower bounds for the mean number of alleles. A formula is derived for the expected number of samples from r chromosomes which contain the allele type of a locus chosen at random.

The influence of attractive and repulsive impurities on the nucleation process of the SiC clusters on Si(100) surface was investigated. Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of the SiC clusters growth show that that increase of the impurity concentration (both attractive and repulsive) leads to decrease of the mean cluster size and rise of the nucleation density of the clusters.

In completely or partially oriented percolation models, a conceptually simple method, using barriers to enclose all open paths from the origin, improves the best previous lower bounds for the critical percolation probabilities.
