Abstract

Consider first-passage percolation on the square lattice. Welsh, who together with Hammersley introduced the subject in 1963, has formulated a problem about mean first-passage times, which, although seemingly simple, has not been proved in any non-trivial case. In this paper we give a general proof of Welsh's problem.
