Comments

Consider an infinite graph where vertices are selected with probability p. The site percolation threshold is a unique value p_c such that if p > p_c an infinite connected component of selected vertices will almost surely exist, and if p < p_c an infinite connected component will almost surely not exist. This sequence gives p_c for the (3,6,3,6) Kagome Archimedean lattice.

This is one of the three real roots of x^3 - 3x^2 + 1. The other roots are 1 + A332437 = 2.879385241... and -(A332438 - 3) = - 0.5320888862... . - Wolfdieter Lang, Dec 13 2022
