Definition 4.3.1 (threshold function). A sequence $q(n)$ is a threshold for a monotone property with probability function $\mu_n(p)$ if $\mu_n(p_n) \to 0$ whenever $p_n / q_n \to 0$, and $\mu_n(p_n) \to 1$ whenever $p_n / q_n \to \infty$.
Instances For
The probability under the product Bernoulli$(p)$ distribution on $2^\Omega$ that the random subset is exactly one of the sets in $\mathcal{F}$, summing the weights $p^{|A|}(1-p)^{|\Omega| - |A|}$ over $A \in \mathcal{F}$.
Instances For
A function $r(n)$ is a sharp threshold if for every $\delta > 0$, the probability $\mu_n(p_n) \to 0$ whenever eventually $p_n \le (1 - \delta) r_n$, and $\mu_n(p_n) \to 1$ whenever eventually $p_n \ge (1 + \delta) r_n$.
Instances For
A function $r(n)$ is a coarse threshold if there exist constants $0 < c < C$ and $\varepsilon > 0$ such that whenever $p_n / r_n \in [c, C]$ eventually, the property probability is eventually bounded into $[\varepsilon, 1 - \varepsilon]$.
Instances For
The product Bernoulli$(p)$ weights on ${0,1}^n$ sum to $1$.
For an upper (monotone increasing) set $A$, the probability of its complement under the product Bernoulli$(p)$ measure is antitone in $p$.
An algebraic convexity-style inequality used in the union-of-copies argument: $(1 - s^m)\alpha^m + s^m \beta^m \le ((1-s)\alpha + s\beta)^m$ for $0 \le \alpha \le \beta$ and $s \in [0,1]$.
Union of independent copies bound. For an upper set $A$ on $\{0,1\}^n$, the probability of $A^c$ under Bernoulli$(1 - (1-t)^m)$ is at most the $m$-th power of the probability of $A^c$ under Bernoulli$(t)$.
Multi-round exposure inequality. For an upper set $A$, the probability that a single Bernoulli$(p)$ trial fails to land in $A$ is bounded by the $m$-th power of the failure probability for Bernoulli$(p/m)$.
Existence of a threshold (Theorem 4.3.5/4.3.6). Any monotone graph property $\mu_n$ satisfying the multi-round exposure inequality and reaching value $1/2$ at $q(n)$ has $q$ as a threshold function.
