Interdependent networks are ubiquitous in our society, ranging from infrastructure to economics, and the study of their cascading behaviors using percolation theory has attracted much attention in the recent years. To analyze the…
We prove up-to-constants bounds on the two-point function (i.e., point-to-point connection probabilities) for critical long-range percolation on the $d$-dimensional hierarchical lattice. More precisely, we prove that if we connect each pair…
Most networks of interest do not live in isolation. Instead they form components of larger systems in which multiple networks with distinct topologies coexist and where elements distributed amongst different networks may interact directly.…
Many complex networks in nature have directed links, a property that affects the network's navigability and large-scale topology. Here we study the percolation properties of such directed scale-free networks with correlated in- and…
We study percolation on self-dual hypergraphs that contain hyperedges with four bounding vertices, or "four-edges", using three different generators, each containing bonds or sites with three distinct probabilities $p$, $r$, and $t$…
A coupled phase-oscillator model consists of phase-oscillators, each of which has the natural frequency obeying a probability distribution and couples with other oscillators through a given periodic coupling function. This type of model is…
Percolation is a fundamental concept that brought new understanding on the robustness properties of complex systems. Here we consider percolation on weakly interacting networks, that is, network layers coupled together by much less…
In recent years, many variants of percolation have been used to study network structure and the behavior of processes spreading on networks. These include bond percolation, site percolation, $k$-core percolation, bootstrap percolation, the…
Scale-free percolation is a percolation model on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ which can be used to model real-world networks. We prove bounds for the graph distance in the regime where vertices have infinite degrees. We fully characterize transience vs.…
A wireless communication network is considered where any two nodes are connected if the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) between them is greater than a threshold. We consider the the path-loss plus fading model of wireless signal…
The phenomenon of percolation is one of the core topics in statistical mechanics. It allows one to study the phase transition known in real physical systems only in a purely geometrical way. In this paper, we determine thresholds $p_c$ for…
Despite original claims of a first-order transition in the product rule model proposed by Achlioptas et al. [Science 323, 1453 (2009)], recent studies indicate that this percolation model, in fact, displays a continuous transition. The…
The sensitivity of anomalous transport in crowded media to the form of the inter-particle interactions is investigated through computer simulations. We extend the highly simplified Lorentz model towards realistic natural systems by modeling…
We investigate the influence of the range of interactions in the two-dimensional bond percolation model, by means of Monte Carlo simulations. We locate the phase transitions for several interaction ranges, as expressed by the number $z$ of…
In a recent paper (arXiv:0911.2514), one of us (FYW) considered the Potts model and bond and site percolation on two general classes of two-dimensional lattices, the triangular-type and kagome-type lattices, and obtained closed-form…
We simulate the bond and site percolation models on a simple-cubic lattice with linear sizes up to L=512, and estimate the percolation thresholds to be $p_c ({\rm bond})=0.248\,811\,82(10)$ and $p_c ({\rm site})=0.311\,607\,7(2)$. By…
We study loop percolation models in two and in three space dimensions, in which configurations of occupied bonds are forced to form closed loop. We show that the uncorrelated occupation of elementary plaquettes of the square and the simple…
We present a study of site and bond percolation on periodic lattices with (on average) fewer than three nearest neighbors per site. We have studied this issue in two contexts: By simulating oxides with a mixture of 2-coordinated and…
Universality, encompassing critical exponents, scaling functions, and dimensionless quantities, is fundamental to phase transition theory. In finite systems, universal behaviors are also expected to emerge at the pseudocritical point.…
In many real network systems, nodes usually cooperate with each other and form groups, in order to enhance their robustness to risks. This motivates us to study a new type of percolation, group percolation, in interdependent networks under…
