The large-N limit of the threshold values in Mandelbrot's fractal percolation process

Abstract

The authors consider Mandelbrot's fractal percolation process, characterised by a density parameter p in (0,1) and an integer subdivision index N>1. For each N, the process is known to have a percolation transition at density pc(N) in (0,1). They prove that lim Pc(N)=Pc where pc is the threshold value of the ordinary square lattice site percolation model.
