A fast algorithm for backbones

Statistical Mechanics 2015-06-25 v1 Materials Science

Abstract

A matching algorithm for the identification of backbones in percolation problems is introduced. Using this procedure, percolation backbones are studied in two- to five-dimensional systems containing 1.7x10^7 sites, two orders of magnitude larger than was previously possible using burning algorithms.
