Arbitrary Threshold Widths for Monotone, Symmetric Properties

Abstract

We show that there exist symmetric properties in the discrete n-cube whose threshold widths range asymptotically between 1/√n and 1/logn. These properties are built using a combination of failure sets arising in reliability theory. This combination of sets is simply called a product. Some general results on the threshold width of the product of two sets A and B in terms of the threshold locations and widths of A and B are provided.
