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…
Percolation, the formation of a macroscopic connected component, is a key feature in the description of complex networks. The dynamical properties of a variety of systems can be understood in terms of percolation, including the robustness…
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 introduce a new dimension spectrum motivated by the Assouad dimension; a familiar notion of dimension which, for a given metric space, returns the minimal exponent $\alpha\geq 0$ such that for any pair of scales $0<r<R$, any ball of…
Multiple resolution analysis of two dimensional structures composed of randomly adsorbed penetrable rods, for densities below the percolation threshold, has been carried out using box-counting functions. It is found that at relevant…
We determine almost sure limits of rescaled intrinsic volumes of the construction steps of fractal percolation in $\mathbb{R}^d$ for any dimension $d\geq 1$. We observe a factorization of these limit variables which allows, in particular,…
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…
A lot of formal and informal recreational study took place in the fields of Meromorphic Maps, since Mandelbrot popularized the map z <- z^2 + c. An immediate generalization of the Mandelbrot z <-z^n + c also known as the Multibrot family…
The incipient infinite cluster appearing at the bond percolation threshold can be decomposed into singly-connected ``links'' and multiply-connected ``blobs.'' Here we decompose blobs into objects known in graph theory as 3-blocks. A 3-block…
In an investigation of percolation on isoradial graphs, we prove the criticality of canonical bond percolation on isoradial embeddings of planar graphs, thus extending celebrated earlier results for homogeneous and inhomogeneous square,…
We present a study on connectivity percolation in suspensions of hard platelets by means of Monte Carlo simulation. We interpret our results using a contact-volume argument based on an effective single--particle cell model. It is commonly…
A random hopping on a fractal network with dimension slightly above one, $d = 1 + \epsilon$, is considered as a model of transport for conducting polymers with nonmetallic conductivity. Within the real space renormalization group method of…
Many real-world networks exhibit the so-called small-world phenomenon: their typical distances are much smaller than their sizes. One mathematical model for this phenomenon is a long-range percolation graph on a $d$-dimensional box $\{0, 1,…
Michael Barnsley introduced a family of fractals sets which are repellers of piecewise affine systems. The study of these fractals was motivated by certain problems that arose in fractal image compression but the results we obtained can be…
Percolation has long served as a model for diverse phenomena and systems. The percolation transition, that is, the formation of a giant cluster on a macroscopic scale, is known as one of the most robust continuous transitions. Recently,…
The influence of fractal clusters of a normal phase on the current-voltage characteristics of a percolation superconductor in the region of a resistive transition has been studied. The clusters represent the aggregates of columnar defects,…
We propose a simulation model to study the properties of directed percolation in two-dimensional (2D) anisotropic random media. The degree of anisotropy in the model is given by the ratio $\mu$ between the axes of a semi-ellipse enclosing…
Percolation theory and the associated conductance networks have provided deep insights into the flow and transport properties of a vast number of heterogeneous materials and media. In practically all cases, however, the conductance of the…
We study the percolation properties of force networks in an anisotropic model for granular packings, the so-called q-model. Following the original recipe of Ostojic et al. [Nature 439, 828 (2006)], we consider a percolation process in which…
Percolation in complex networks is viewed as both: a process that mimics network degradation and a tool that reveals peculiarities of the underlying network structure. During the course of percolation, networks undergo non-trivial…
