We consider cumulative merging percolation (CMP), a long-range percolation process describing the iterative merging of clusters in networks, depending on their mass and mutual distance. For a specific class of CMP processes, which…
We consider the backbone of the infinite cluster generated by supercritical oriented site percolation in dimension 1 +1. A directed random walk on this backbone can be seen as an "ancestral line" of an individual sampled in the stationary…
We consider directed percolation with an absorbing boundary in 1+1 and 2+1 dimensions. The distribution of cluster lifetimes and sizes depend on the boundary. The new scaling exponents can be related to the exponents characterizing standard…
In cluster tomography, we propose measuring the number of clusters $N$ intersected by a line segment of length $\ell$ across a finite sample. As expected, the leading order of $N(\ell)$ scales as $a\ell$, where $a$ depends on microscopic…
We study the geometry of the critical clusters in fully coordinated percolation on the square lattice. By Monte Carlo simulations (static exponents) and normal mode analysis (dynamic exponents), we find that this problem is in the same…
We consider a correlated site percolation problem on a cubic lattice of size $L^3$, with $16\le L\le 512$. The sites of an initially full lattice are removed by a random walk of ${\cal N}=uL^3$ steps. When the parameter $u$ crosses a…
A matching algorithm for the identification of backbones in percolation problems is introduced. Using this procedure, percolation backbones are studied in two- to five-dimensional systems containing 1.7x10^7 sites, two orders of magnitude…
Percolation clusters are probably the simplest example for scale--invariant structures which either are governed by isotropic scaling--laws (``self--similarity'') or --- as in the case of directed percolation --- may display anisotropic…
We study the critical behavior of various geometrical and transport properties of percolation in 6 dimensions. By employing field theory and renormalization group methods we analyze fluctuation induced logarithmic corrections to scaling up…
Complex networks have recently attracted much interest due to their prevalence in nature and our daily lives [1, 2]. A critical property of a network is its resilience to random breakdown and failure [3-6], typically studied as a…
We propose a simple generalization of the explosive percolation process [Achlioptas et al., Science 323, 1453 (2009)], and investigate its structural and transport properties. In this model, at each step, a set of q unoccupied bonds is…
Many biological tissues feature a heterogeneous network of fibers whose tensile and bending rigidity contribute substantially to these tissues' elastic properties. Rigidity percolation has emerged as a important paradigm for relating these…
We probe gravitational clustering in N-body simulations using geometrical descriptors sensitive to `connectedness': the genus curve, percolation and shape statistics. We find that both genus and percolation curves provide complementary…
We study, on a square lattice, an extension to fully coordinated percolation which we call iterated fully coordinated percolation. In fully coordinated percolation, sites become occupied if all four of its nearest neighbors are also…
A range of percolation models of cluster systems of composites is discussed. In the models the parameters of the clusters of a substance and inner boundaries were obtained by the Monte Carlo method, and the possibility of affecting the…
We consider invasion percolation on a rooted regular tree. For the infinite cluster invaded from the root, we identify the scaling behavior of its $r$-point function for any $r\geq2$ and of its volume both at a given height and below a…
We consider the densities of clusters, at the percolation point of a two-dimensional system, which are anchored in various ways to an edge. These quantities are calculated by use of conformal field theory and computer simulations. We find…
Rigidity percolation provides an important basis for understanding the onset of mechanical stability in disordered materials. While most studies on the triangular lattice have focused on static properties at fixed bond~(site) occupation…
We observed a phase transition-like behavior that is marked by the onset of the realization of the connectivity between two sites on a two-dimensional cross-section of a three-dimensional percolation cluster. This was found using…
It was recently found that cascading failures can cause the abrupt breakdown of a system of interdependent networks. Using the percolation method developed for single clustered networks by Newman [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 103}, 058701 (2009)],…
