We study a lattice model where the coupling stochastically switches between repulsive (subtractive) and attractive (additive) at each site with probability p at every time instance. We observe that such kind of coupling stabilizes the local…
When a system is brought to a metastable state, nuclei of the equilibrium phase form and grow. This is the well-known nucleation and growth of first-order phase transitions. Near a critical point of a continuous phase transition, critical…

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 $r$-neighbors share any exclusive pair. The $r$-neighbor of a…

A hybrid percolation transition (HPT) exhibits both discontinuity of the order parameter and critical behavior at the transition point. Such dynamic transitions can occur in two ways: by cluster pruning with suppression of loop formation of…
