Geometrical properties of two-dimensional mixtures near the jamming transition point are numerically investigated using harmonic particles under mechanical training. The configurations generated by the quasi-static compression and…

Jamming, or dynamical arrest, is a transition at which many particles stop moving in a collective manner. In nature it is brought about by, for example, increasing the packing density, changing the interactions between particles, or…

We study the edge deletion process of random graphs near a k-core percolation point. We find that the time-dependent number of edges in the process exhibits critically divergent fluctuations. We first show theoretically that the k-core…
