RESUMO
Bootstrap percolation models describe systems as diverse as magnetic materials, fluid flow in rocks and computer storage systems. The models have a common feature of requiring not just a simple connectivity of neighbouring sites, but rather an environment of other suitably occupied sites. Different applications as well as the connection with the mathematical literature on these models is presented. Visualizations that show the compact nature of the clusters are provided.
