Abstract:The $r$-neighbor bootstrap percolation process on a graph is a vertex-activation process that begins with a set of initially active vertices. In each subsequent round, every inactive vertex having at least $r$ active neighbors becomes active. A set of initially active vertices whose activation eventually spreads to all vertices of the graph is called a percolating set. Let $m(G,r)$ denote the minimum size of a percolating set in the $r$-neighbor bootstrap percolation process on a graph $G$. In this paper, among other results, we prove that \[ \frac{k^2}{4}+\Omega(k)\leqslant m(\mathbbmsl{O}_k,2)\leqslant \frac{k^2}{3}+O(k), \] where $\mathbbmsl{O}_k$ denotes the odd graph on a ground set of cardinality $2k+1$. As a consequence, we confirm a conjecture posed in 2021 by Grippo, Pastine, Torres, Valencia-Pabon, and Vera.
