We introduce a cluster growth process that provides a clear connection between equilibrium statistical mechanics and an explosive percolation model similar to the one recently proposed by Achlioptas et al. [Science 323, 1453 (2009)]. We…
In this article, we investigate explosive bond percolation (EBP) with product rule, formally known as Achlioptas process, on a scale-free multifractal weighted planar stochastic lattice (WPSL). One of the key features of the EBP transition…
Percolation refers to the emergence of a giant connected cluster in a disordered system when the number of connections between nodes exceeds a critical value. The percolation phase transitions were believed to be continuous until recently…
We consider a class of percolation models, called Achlioptas processes, discussed in [Science 323, 1453 (2009)] and [Science 333, 322 (2011)]. For these the evolution of the order parameter (the rescaled size of the largest connected…
The recent work by Achlioptas, D'Souza, and Spencer opened up the possibility of obtaining a discontinuous (explosive) percolation transition by changing the stochastic rule of bond occupation. Despite the active research on this subject,…
It has been recently shown that the percolation transition is discontinuous in Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi networks and square lattices in two dimensions under the Achlioptas Process (AP). Here, we show that when the structure is highly heterogeneous…
We study the site percolation under Achlioptas process (AP) with a product rule in a $2-dimensional$ (2D) square lattice. From the measurement of the cluster size distribution, $P_s$, we find that $P_s$ has a very robust power-law regime…
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 present a unifying, consistent, finite-size-scaling picture for percolation theory bringing it into the framework of a general, renormalization-group-based, scaling scheme for systems above their upper critical dimensions $d_c$.…
We define a continuum percolation model that provides a collection of random ellipses on the plane and study the behavior of the covered set and the vacant set, the one obtained by removing all ellipses. Our model generalizes a construction…
We describe the effect of power-law initial distributions of clusters on ordinary percolation and its generalizations, specifically, models of explosive percolation processes based on local optimization. These aggregation processes were…
Achlioptas processes are a class of dynamically grown random graphs where on each step several edges are chosen at random but only one is added. The sum rule, product rule, and bounded size rules have been extensively studied. Here we…
Conformational transitions of a single macromolecule of finite size $N$ cannot be described within standard thermodynamic framework. Taking as a basis a simple model of homopolymer exhibiting a coil-globule transition, we show that a…
A region of two-dimensional space has been filled randomly with large number of growing circular discs allowing only a `slight' overlapping among them just before their growth stop. More specifically, each disc grows from a nucleation…
Percolation is a paradigmatic model in disordered systems and has been applied to various natural phenomena. The percolation transition is known as one of the most robust continuous transitions. However, recent extensive studies have…
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…
A approach of finite size scaling theory for discontinous percolation with multiple giant clusters is developed in this paper. The percolation in generalized Bohman-Frieze-Wormald (BFW) model has already been proved to be discontinuous…
We investigate the onset of the discontinuous percolation transition in small-world hyperbolic networks by studying the systems-size scaling of the typical largest cluster approaching the transition, $p\nearrow p_{c}$. To this end, we…
Can there be a `Litmus test' for determining the nature of transition in models of percolation? In this paper we argue that the answer is in the affirmative. All one needs to do is to measure the `growth exponent' $\chi$ of the largest…
The Gaussian model of discontinuous percolation, recently introduced by Ara\'ujo and Herrmann [Phys. Rev. Lett., 105, 035701 (2010)], is numerically investigated in three dimensions, disclosing a discontinuous transition. For the…
