Abstract

Motivated by network resilience and insurance premiums in the context of\ncyber security, we derive universal upper bounds for the first and second\nmoments of the size of bond percolation clusters on finite regular graphs.\nThinking of the clusters as dynamical objects coupled with branching processes\ngives a first set of bounds that are accurate when the probability of an edge\nbeing open is small. Estimating the number of isolated vertices, we also obtain\na second set of bounds that are accurate when the probability of an edge being\nclosed is small. As an illustration, we apply our results to the first three\nPlatonic solids.\n
