Abstract

Most research in first-passage percolation has been done under the assumption of a finite mean for the underlying time coordinate distribution. We demonstrate that the basic ergodic results can be derived under a weaker moment assumption, which still permits us to evaluate the time constant in the case where the atom at zero of the time coordinate distribution exceeds one-half. Further almost sure convergence is investigated more closely.
