Porous media are often modelled as systems of overlapping obstacles, which leads to the problem of two percolation thresholds in such systems, one for the porous matrix and the other one for the void space. Here we investigate these…
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 consider the problem of bootstrap percolation on a three dimensional lattice and we study its finite size scaling behavior. Bootstrap percolation is an example of Cellular Automata defined on the $d$-dimensional lattice $\{1,2,...,L\}^d$…
We study the locality of critical percolation on finite graphs: let $G_n$ be a sequence of finite graphs, converging locally weakly to a (random, rooted) infinite graph $G$. Consider Bernoulli edge percolation: does the critical probability…
The aim of this paper is to generalize the well-known asymptotic shape result for first-passage percolation on $\Zd$ to first-passage percolation on a random environment given by the infinite cluster of a supercritical Bernoulli percolation…
We consider long-range Bernoulli bond percolation on the $d$-dimensional hierarchical lattice in which each pair of points $x$ and $y$ are connected by an edge with probability $1-\exp(-\beta\|x-y\|^{-d-\alpha})$, where $0<\alpha<d$ is…
Bootstrap percolation on an arbitrary graph has a random initial configuration, where each vertex is occupied with probability p, independently of each other, and a deterministic spreading rule with a fixed parameter k: if a vacant site has…
We prove an exponential deviation inequality for the convex hull of a finite sample of i.i.d. random points with a density supported on an arbitrary convex body in $\R^d$, $d\geq 2$. When the density is uniform, our result yields rate…
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…
We consider a type of dependent percolation introduced by Aizenman and Grimmett, who showed that certain "enhancements" of independent (Bernoulli) percolation, called essential, make the percolation critical probability strictly smaller. In…
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…
Many complex networks in nature have directed links, a property that affects the network's navigability and large-scale topology. Here we study the percolation properties of such directed scale-free networks with correlated in- and…
Supercritical branching processes in constant environment conditioned on eventual extinction are known to be subcritical branching processes. The case of random environment is more subtle. A supercritical branching diffusion in random…
We consider general continuum percolation models obeying sparseness, translation invariance, and spatial decorrelation. In particular, this includes models constructed on general point sets other than the standard Poisson point process or…
We study the percolation phase transition on preferential attachment models, in which vertices enter with $m$ edges and attach proportionally to their degree plus $\delta$. We identify the critical percolation threshold as…
We examine the percolation model in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ by an approach involving lattice animals, in which their relevant characteristic is surface-area-to-volume ratio. Two critical exponents are introduced. The first is related to the growth…
We study the decay of the semigroup generated by the damped wave equation in an unbounded domain. We first prove under the natural geometric control condition the exponential decay of the semigroup. Then we prove under a weaker condition…
We study the directed polymer model in dimension ${1+1}$ when the environment is heavy-tailed, with a decay exponent $\alpha\in(0,2)$. We give all possible scaling limits of the model in the weak-coupling regime, i.e., when the inverse…
We propose a novel finite size scaling analysis for percolation transition observed in complex networks. While it is known that cooperative systems in growing networks often undergo an infinite order transition with inverted…
Clusters generated by the product-rule growth model of Achlioptas, D'Souza, and Spencer on a two-dimensional square lattice are shown to obey qualitatively different scaling behavior than standard (random growth) percolation. The threshold…
