Abstract

The enhanced binary tree (EBT) is a nontransitive graph which has two percolation thresholds pc1p_{c1} and pc2p_{c2} with pc1<pc2p_{c1}<p_{c2}. Our Monte Carlo study implies that the second threshold pc2p_{c2} is significantly lower than a recent claim by Nogawa and Hasegawa (J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. {\bf 42} (2009) 145001). This means that pc2p_{c2} for the EBT does not obey the duality relation for the thresholds of dual graphs pc2+pc1=1p_{c2}+\overline{p}_{c1}=1 which is a property of a transitive, nonamenable, planar graph with one end. As in regular hyperbolic lattices, this relation instead becomes an inequality pc2+pc1<1p_{c2}+\overline{p}_{c1}<1. We also find that the critical behavior is well described by the scaling form previously found for regular hyperbolic lattices.
