Existence of arbitrarily many metastable critical points of
Existence of arbitrarily many metastable critical points of
For integers and parameters , consider the functions arising in the bootstrap-percolation model. A critical point is called -metastable at when it has the corresponding metastability behavior at those points. Metastability conjecture. There exists a function , parameters , and points such that each is a critical point which is -metastable at . The claim formalizes the expectation that suitable offspring distributions can produce arbitrarily many decreasing local maxima of and hence multiple phase transitions; the supplied text does not establish it or indicate a resolution status.
