Percolation transitions with nonlocal constraint

Statistical Mechanics 2012-10-09 v1

Abstract

We investigate percolation transitions in a nonlocal network model numerically. In this model, each node has an exclusive partner and a link is forbidden between two nodes whose rr-neighbors share any exclusive pair. The rr-neighbor of a node xx is defined as a set of at most NrN^r neighbors of xx, where NN is the total number of nodes. The parameter rr controls the strength of a nonlocal effect. The system is found to undergo a percolation transition belonging to the mean field universality class for r<1/2r< 1/2. On the other hand, for r>1/2r>1/2, the system undergoes a peculiar phase transition from a non-percolating phase to a quasi-critical phase where the largest cluster size GG scales as GNαG \sim N^{\alpha} with α=0.74(1)\alpha = 0.74 (1). In the marginal case with r=1/2r=1/2, the model displays a percolation transition that does not belong to the mean field universality class.
