Abstract:
In this paper, we investigate the problem of determining the critical probabilities of percolation for finite square grids. Basing on the Harris – Kesten theorem on critical probability $p_{c} (\mathbb{Z}^{2})$ in the infinite square grid, we prove that the exact threshold of exponential decay in the infinite square grid is equal to $\frac{1}{2}$. With the help of the evaluated value of $p_{g} (\mathbb{Z}^{2})$ we show that the critical probabilities of percolation on finite square grids are arbitrarily close to $\frac{1}{2}$ when the size of a grid is large enough.
