Restoring site percolation on a damaged square lattice
Abstract
We study how to restore site percolation on a damaged square lattice with nearest neighbor (N) interactions. Two strategies are suggested for a density of destroyed sites by a random attack at . In the first one, a density of new sites are created with longer range interactions, either next nearest neighbor (N) or next next nearest neighbor (N). In the second one, new longer range interactions N or N are created for a fraction of the remaining sites in addition to their N interactions. In both cases, the values of and are tuned in order to restore site percolation which then occurs at new percolation thresholds, respectively , , and . Using Monte Carlo simulations the values of the pairs , and , are calculated for the whole range . Our schemes are applicable to all regular lattices.
