After the Achlioptas process (AP), which yields the so-called explosive percolation, was introduced, the number of papers on percolation phenomena has been literally exploding. Most of the existing studies, however, have focused only on the…
Percolation is perhaps the simplest example of a process exhibiting a phase transition and one of the most studied phenomena in statistical physics. The percolation transition is continuous if sites/bonds are occupied independently with the…
Macroscopic properties of heterogeneous media are frequently modelled by regular lattice models, which are based on a relatively small basic cluster of lattice sites. Here, we extend one of such models to any cluster's size kxk. We also…
We propose a simple generalization of the explosive percolation process [Achlioptas et al., Science 323, 1453 (2009)], and investigate its structural and transport properties. In this model, at each step, a set of q unoccupied bonds is…
We consider the "Touch and Stop" cluster growth percolation (CGP) model on the two dimensional square lattice. A key-parameter in the model is the fraction p of occupied "seed" sites that act as nucleation centers from which a particular…
We study the fractal structure of Diffusion-Limited Aggregation (DLA) clusters on the square lattice by extensive numerical simulations (with clusters having up to $10^8$ particles). We observe that DLA clusters undergo strongly anisotropic…
We show that only considering the largest cluster suffices to obtain a first-order percolation transition. As opposed to previous realizations of explosive percolation our models obtain Gaussian cluster distributions and compact clusters as…
We extend the Achlioptas model for the delay of criticality in the percolation problem. Instead of having a completely random connectivity pattern, we generalize the idea of the two-site probe in the Achlioptas model for connecting smaller…
Ordinary bond percolation (OP) can be viewed as a process where clusters grow by joining them pairwise, by adding links chosen randomly one by one from a set of predefined `virtual' links. In contrast, in agglomerative percolation (AP)…
We investigate the problem of growing clusters, which is modeled by two dimensional disks and three dimensional droplets. In this model we place a number of seeds on random locations on a lattice with an initial occupation probability, $p$.…
Percolation and synchronization are two phase transitions that have been extensively studied since already long ago. A classic result is that, in the vast majority of cases, these transitions are of the second-order type, i.e. continuous…
We present an analytical approach for bond percolation on multiplex networks and use it to determine the expected size of the giant connected component and the value of the critical bond occupation probability in these networks. We advocate…
Controlled experimental studies of percolation are challenging due to difficulties in tuning site connectivity, isolating local interactions, and mitigating finite-size effects. In this work, we experimentally investigate percolation with a…
We study a generalization of site percolation on a simple cubic lattice, where not only single sites are removed randomly, but also entire parallel columns of sites. We show that typical clusters near the percolation transition are very…
Using the finite-size scaling, we have investigated the percolation phase transitions of evolving random networks under a generalized Achlioptas process (GAP). During this GAP, the edge with minimum product of two connecting cluster sizes…
We investigate bond percolation on mediation-driven attachment (MDA) networks under the generalized Achlioptas process, where $M>1$ candidate bonds are sampled and the one that minimizes the resulting cluster size is selected the…
We report the critical point for site percolation for the "explosive" type for 2D square lattices using Monte Carlo simulations and compare it to the classical well known percolation. We use similar algorithms as have been recently reported…
Bootstrap percolation provides an emblematic instance of phase behavior characterised by an abrupt transition with diverging critical fluctuations. This unusual hybrid situation generally occurs in particle systems in which the occupation…
Cluster growth in a coagulating system of active particles (such as microswimmers in a solvent) is studied by theory and simulation. In contrast to passive systems, the net velocity of a cluster can have various scalings dependent on the…
In invasion percolation, the edges of successively maximal weight (the outlets) divide the invasion cluster into a chain of ponds separated by outlets. On the regular tree, the ponds are shown to grow exponentially, with law of large…
