A simple, discrete, parametric model is proposed to describe conditional (correlated) deposition of particles on a surface and formation of a connecting (percolating) cluster. The surface changes spontaneously its properties (phase…
We study bond percolation on the simple cubic (SC) lattice with various combinations of first, second, third, and fourth nearest-neighbors by Monte Carlo simulation. Using a single-cluster growth algorithm, we find precise values of the…
Numerical simulations and finite-size scaling analysis have been carried out to study the percolation behavior of straight rigid rods of length $k$ ($k$-mers) on two-dimensional square lattices. The $k$-mers, containing $k$ identical units…
Disks of two sizes and weights in alternating sequence are confined to a long and narrow channel. The axis of the channel is horizontal and its plane vertical. The channel is closed off by pistons that freeze jammed microstates out of loose…
Fix $c\in (0,1)$ and let $\Gamma$ be a $\lfloor c n\rfloor$-regular digraph on $n$ vertices drawn uniformly at random. We prove that when $n$ is large, the (non-symmetric) adjacency matrix $M$ of $\Gamma$ is invertible with high…
Amorphous packings of non-spherical particles such as ellipsoids and spherocylinders are known to be hypostatic: the number of mechanical contacts between particles is smaller than the number of degrees of freedom, thus violating Maxwell's…
Rheological properties of a dense granular material consisting of frictionless spheres are investigated. It is found that the shear stress, the pressure, and the kinetic temperature obey critical scaling near the jamming transition point,…

The problem of continuum percolation in dispersions of rods is reformulated in terms of weighted random geometric graphs. Nodes (or sites or vertices) in the graph represent spatial locations occupied by the centers of the rods. The…
We show by means of continuum theory and simulations that geometric percolation in uniaxial nematics of hard slender particles is fundamentally different from that in isotropic dispersions. In the nematic, percolation depends only very…
This article presents a Monte Carlo study on bond percolation in distorted square and triangular lattices. The distorted lattices are generated by dislocating the sites from their regular positions. The amount and direction of the…
Jamming phenomena on a square lattice are investigated for two different models of anisotropic random sequential adsorption (RSA) of linear $k$-mers (particles occupying $k$ adjacent adsorption sites along a line). The length of a $k$-mer…
We investigate site percolation on a weighted planar stochastic lattice (WPSL) which is a multifractal and whose dual is a scale-free network. Percolation is typically characterized by percolation threshold $p_c$ and by a set of critical…
We investigate universal features of the jamming transition in granular materials, colloids and glasses. We show that the jamming transition in these systems has common features: slowing of response to external perturbation, and the onset…
We study percolation problems of overlapping objects where the underlying geometry is such that in D-dimensions, a subset of the directions has a lattice structure, while the remaining directions have a continuum structure. The resulting…
We characterize the existence of certain geometric configurations in the fractal percolation limit set $A$ in terms of the almost sure dimension of $A$. Some examples of the configurations we study are: homothetic copies of finite sets,…
A general method is proposed for predicting the asymptotic percolation threshold of networks with bottlenecks, in the limit that the sub-net mesh size goes to zero. The validity of this method is tested for bond percolation on filled…
Percolation processes on random networks have been the subject of intense research activity over the last decades: the overall phenomenology of standard percolation on uncorrelated and unclustered topologies is well known. Still some…
This work extends the universal finite-size scaling framework for continuum percolation from two-dimensional (2D) to quasi-three-dimensional (Q3D) stick systems, in which sequentially deposited wires of finite diameter stack vertically on a…
The probability distribution of the conductance at the mobility edge, $p_c(g)$, in different universality classes and dimensions is investigated numerically for a variety of random systems. It is shown that $p_c(g)$ is universal for systems…
