Fractals, 1/f noise, Zipf's law, and the occurrence of large catastrophic events are typical ubiquitous general empirical observations across the individual sciences which cannot be understood within the set of references developed within…
Percolation is a cornerstone concept in physics, providing crucial insights into critical phenomena and phase transitions. In this study, we adopt a kinetic perspective to reveal the scaling behaviors of higher-order gaps in the largest…
Recently, a hybrid percolation transitions (HPT) that exhibits both a discontinuous transition and critical behavior at the same transition point has been observed in diverse complex systems. In spite of considerable effort to develop the…
We investigate the average sizes of the $n$ largest fragments in nuclear multifragmentation events near the critical point of the nuclear matter phase diagram. We perform analytic calculations employing Poisson statistics as well as Monte…
The inclusion of a fragmentation mechanism in population balance equations introduces complex interactions that make the analytical or even computational treatment much more difficult than for the pure aggregation case. This is specially…
In the 1980s an important goal of the emergent field of fractals was to determine the relationships between their physical and geometrical properties. The fractal-Einstein and Alexander-Orbach laws, which interrelate electrical, diffusive…
We consider the effects of spatial correlations in a two-dimensional site percolation model. By generalizing the Newman-Ziff Monte Carlo algorithm to include spatial correlations, percolation thresholds and fractal dimensions of percolation…
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…
The site percolation problem is one of the core topics in statistical physics. Evaluation of the percolation threshold, which separates two phases (sometimes described as conducting and insulating), is useful for a range of problems from…
There are various notions of dimension in fractal geometry to characterise (random and non-random) subsets of $\mathbb R^d$. In this expository text, we discuss their analogues for infinite subsets of $\mathbb Z^d$ and, more generally, for…
We apply percolation theory to a recently proposed measure of fragmentation $F$ for social networks. The measure $F$ is defined as the ratio between the number of pairs of nodes that are not connected in the fragmented network after…
Human development has far-reaching impacts on the surface of the globe. The transformation of natural land cover occurs in different forms and urban growth is one of the most eminent transformative processes. We analyze global land cover…
In this paper, a number of traditional models related to the percolation theory has been considered by means of new computational methodology that does not use Cantor's ideas and describes infinite and infinitesimal numbers in accordance…
The science of thermodynamics was put together in the Nineteenth Century to describe large systems in equilibrium. One part of thermodynamics defines entropy for equilibrium systems and demands an ever-increasing entropy for non-equilibrium…
We show that the laws of Zipf and Benford, obeyed by scores of numerical data generated by many and diverse kinds of natural phenomena and human activity are related to the focal expression of a generalized thermodynamic structure. This…
Percolation is a fundamental concept that brought new understanding on the robustness properties of complex systems. Here we consider percolation on weakly interacting networks, that is, network layers coupled together by much less…
