Explosive percolation in the Achlioptas process, which has attracted much research attention, is known to exhibit a rich variety of critical phenomena that are anomalous from the perspective of continuous phase transitions. Hereby, we show…
Percolation is one of the most studied processes in statistical physics. A recent paper by Achlioptas et al. [Science 323, 1453 (2009)] has shown that the percolation transition, which is usually continuous, becomes discontinuous…
In the usual Achlioptas processes the smallest clusters of a few randomly chosen ones are selected to merge together at each step. The resulting aggregation process leads to the delayed birth of a giant cluster and the so-called explosive…
In this paper we review the recent advances on explosive percolation, a very sharp phase transition first observed by Achlioptas et al. (Science, 2009). There a simple model was proposed, which changed slightly the classical percolation…
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…
It is widely believed that certain simple modifications of the random graph process lead to discontinuous phase transitions. In particular, starting with the empty graph on $n$ vertices, suppose that at each step two pairs of vertices are…
In a new type of percolation phase transition, which was observed in a set of non-equilibrium models, each new connection between vertices is chosen from a number of possibilities by an Achlioptas-like algorithm. This causes preferential…
Networks are ubiquitous in diverse real-world systems. Many empirical networks grow as the number of nodes increases with time. Percolation transitions in growing random networks can be of infinite order. However, when the growth of large…
The finite-size scaling (FSS) theory for continuous phase transitions has been useful in determining the critical behavior from the size dependent behaviors of thermodynamic quantities. When the phase transition is discontinuous, however,…
We consider the problem of distinguishing classical (Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi) percolation from explosive (Achlioptas) percolation, under noise. A statistical model of percolation is constructed allowing for the birth and death of edges as well…
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…
The emergence of large-scale connectivity and synchronization are crucial to the structure, function and failure of many complex socio-technical networks. Thus, there is great interest in analyzing phase transitions to large-scale…
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 investigate variations of the well-known Achlioptas percolation problem, which uses the method of probing sites when building up a lattice system, or probing links when building a network, ultimately resulting in the delay of the…
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…
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…
We study scale-free networks constructed via a cooperative Achlioptas growth process. Links between nodes are introduced in the network in order to produce a scale-free graph with given exponent lambda for the degree distribution, but the…
Explosive Percolation describes the abrupt onset of large-scale connectivity that results from a simple random process designed to delay the onset of the transition on an underlying random network or lattice. Explosive percolation…
The Achlioptas process, which suppresses the aggregation of large-sized clusters, can exhibit an explosive percolation (EP) where the order parameter emerges abruptly yet continuously in the thermodynamic limit. It is known that EP is…
Random graph models with limited choice have been studied extensively with the goal of understanding the mechanism of the emergence of the giant component. One of the standard models are the Achlioptas random graph processes on a fixed set…
