Abstract: We consider the Erdös–Rényi random graph Gn,p and we analyze the simple irreversible epidemic process on the graph, known in the literature as bootstrap percolation. We give a quantitative version of some results by Janson et al. (2012), providing a fine asymptotic analysis of the final size An∗ of active nodes, under a suitable super-critical regime. More specifically, we establish large deviation principles for the sequence of random variables {n−An∗f(n)}n≥1 with explicit rate functions and allowing the scaling function f to vary in the widest possible range.
