The explosive percolation problem on the complete graph is investigated via extensive numerical simulations. We obtain the cluster-size distribution at the moment when the cluster size heterogeneity becomes maximum. The distribution is…
In the presence of attraction, the jamming transition of packings of frictionless particles corresponds to the rigidity percolation. When the range of attraction is long, the distribution of the size of rigid clusters, $P(s)$, is continuous…
Criticality is traditionally regarded as an unstable, fine-tuned fixed point of the renormalization group. We introduce an iterative bicolored percolation process in two dimensions and show that it can both preserve criticality and…
We describe the critical window for percolation in the universality class of sparse growing random graphs. In our models, vertices arrive sequentially and connect independently to each earlier vertex $v$ with probability proportional to a…
We evaluate the percolation threshold values for a realistic model of continuum segregated systems, where random spherical inclusions forbid the percolating objects, modellized by hard-core spherical particles surrounded by penetrable…
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 consider the percolation problem of sites on an $L\times L$ square lattice with periodic boundary conditions which were unvisited by a random walk of $N=uL^2$ steps, i.e. are vacant. Most of the results are obtained from numerical…
The physics of $k$-core percolation pertains to those systems whose constituents require a minimum number of $k$ connections to each other in order to participate in any clustering phenomenon. Examples of such a phenomenon range from…
This paper presents a Monte-Carlo study of percolation in a distorted square lattice, in which, the adjacent sites are not equidistant. Starting with an undistorted lattice, the position of the lattice sites are shifted through a tunable…
A new site percolation model, directed spiral percolation (DSP), under both directional and rotational (spiral) constraints is studied numerically on the square lattice. The critical percolation threshold $p_c\approx 0.655$ is found between…
Percolation transition (PT) means the formation of a macroscopic-scale large cluster, which exhibits a continuous transition. However, when the growth of large clusters is globally suppressed, the type of PT is changed to a discontinuous…
It is natural to expect that there are only three possible types of scaling limits for the collection of all percolation interfaces in the plane: (1) a trivial one, consisting of no curves at all, (2) a critical one, in which all points of…
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…
Percolation theory concerns the emergence of connected clusters that percolate through a networked system. Previous studies ignored the effect that a node outside the percolating cluster may actively induce its inside neighbours to exit the…
Understanding what types of phenomena lead to discontinuous phase transitions in the connectivity of random networks is an outstanding challenge. Here we show that a simple stochastic model of graph evolution leads to a discontinuous…
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…
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 four Achlioptas type processes with "explosive" percolation transitions. All transitions are clearly continuous, but their finite size scaling functions are not entire holomorphic. The distributions of the order parameter, the…
We study how the dynamics of a drying front propagating through a porous medium are affected by small-scale correlations in material properties. For this, we first present drying experiments in micro-fluidic micro-models of porous media.…
We introduce a class of cellular automata growth models on the two-dimensional integer lattice with finite cross neighborhoods. These dynamics are determined by a Young diagram $\mathcal Z$ and the radius $\rho$ of the neighborhood, which…
