Abstract

Percolation models with multiple percolating clusters have attracted much attention in recent years. Here we use Monte Carlo simulations to study bond percolation on L1×L2L_{1}\times L_{2} planar random lattices, duals of random lattices, and square lattices with free and periodic boundary conditions, in vertical and horizontal directions, respectively, and with various aspect ratio L1/L2L_{1}/L_{2}. We calculate the probability for the appearance of nn percolating clusters, Wn,W_{n}, the percolating probabilities, PP, the average fraction of lattice bonds (sites) in the percolating clusters, <cb>n<c^{b}>_{n} (<cs>n<c^{s}>_{n}), and the probability distribution function for the fraction cc of lattice bonds (sites), in percolating clusters of subgraphs with nn percolating clusters, fn(cb)f_{n}(c^{b}) (fn(cs)f_{n}(c^{s})). Using a small number of nonuniversal metric factors, we find that WnW_{n}, PP, <cb>n<c^{b}>_{n} (<cs>n<c^{s}>_{n}), and fn(cb)f_{n}(c^{b}) (fn(cs)f_{n}(c^{s})) for random lattices, duals of random lattices, and square lattices have the same universal finite-size scaling functions. We also find that nonuniversal metric factors are independent of boundary conditions and aspect ratios.
