Ever since J.M. Hammersley showed the existence of phase-transitions regarding independent bond percolation on general $d \geq 2$ dimensional integer-lattices in the late 50's, the continuity (or discontinuity) of which is perhaps the most…
Models of percolation processes on networks currently assume locally tree-like structures at low densities, and are derived exactly only in the thermodynamic limit. Finite size effects and the presence of short loops in real systems however…
We present a study of site and bond percolation on periodic lattices with 3 nearest neighbors per site. We have considered 3 lattices, with different symmetries, different underlying Bravais lattices, and different degrees of longer-range…
We define an inhomogeneous percolation model on "ladder graphs" obtained as direct products of an arbitrary graph $G = (V,E)$ and the set of integers $\mathbb{Z}$ (vertices are thought of as having a "vertical" component indexed by an…
The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we study eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the adjacency matrix of a bond percolation graph when the base graph is finite and well approximated locally by an infinite regular graph. We relate…
Any infinite graph has site and bond percolation critical probabilities satisfying $p_c^{site}\geq p_c^{bond}$. The strict version of this inequality holds for many, but not all, infinite graphs. In this paper, the class of graphs for which…
We characterize the existence of certain geometric configurations in the fractal percolation limit set $A$ in terms of the almost sure dimension of $A$. Some examples of the configurations we study are: homothetic copies of finite sets,…
Let $d\geq 2$. We consider an i.i.d. supercritical bond percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, every edge is open with a probability $p>p_c(d)$, where $p_c(d)$ denotes the critical point. We condition on the event that $0$ belongs to the infinite…
Percolation theory is usually applied to lattices with a uniform probability p that a site is occupied or that a bond is closed. The more general case, where p is a function of the position x, has received less attention. Previous studies…
We study the percolation of FINITE-SIZED objects on two- and three-dimensional lattices. Our motivation stems, on one hand from some recent interesting experimental results on transport properties of impurity-doped oxide perovskites and on…
We consider a geometric percolation process partially motivated by recent work of Hejda and Kala. Specifically, we start with an initial set $X \subseteq \mathbb{Z}^2$, and then iteratively check whether there exists a triangle $T \subseteq…
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…
The following article deals with the critical value p_c of the three-dimensional bootstrap percolation. We will check the behavior of p_c for different lengths of the lattice and additionally we will scale p_c in the limit of an infinite…
Classical bond percolation theory studies the conditions for a given point in a random graph to be connected to infinity, or "escape" to infinity, via a sequence of random edges. In this work, we present a higher-dimensional generalization…
By bootstrap percolation we mean the following deterministic process on a graph $G$. Given a set $A$ of vertices "infected" at time 0, new vertices are subsequently infected, at each time step, if they have at least $r\in\mathbb{N}$…
Exact or precise thresholds have been intensively studied since the introduction of the percolation model. Recently the critical polynomial $P_{\rm B}(p,L)$ was introduced for planar-lattice percolation models, where $p$ is the occupation…
Extensive Monte-Carlo simulations were performed to study bond percolation on the simple cubic (s.c.), face-centered cubic (f.c.c.), and body-centered cubic (b.c.c.) lattices, using an epidemic kind of approach. These simulations provide…
We introduce a non-standard model for percolation on the integer lattice $\mathbb Z^2$. Randomly assign to each vertex $a \in \mathbb Z^2$ a potential, denoted $\phi_a$, chosen independently and uniformly from the interval $[0, 1]$. For…
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…
In independent bond percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with parameter $p$, if one removes the vertices of the infinite cluster (and incident edges), for which values of $p$ does the remaining graph contain an infinite cluster?…
