Percolation in a Multifractal
نویسندگان
چکیده
We build a multifractal object and use it as a support to study perco-lation. We identify some differences between percolation in a multifractal and in a regular lattice. We use many samples of finite size lattices and draw the histogram of percolating lattices against site occupation probability. Depending on a parameter characterizing the multifractal and the lattice size, the histogram can have two peaks. The percolation threshold for the multifractal is lower than for the square lattice. The percolation in the multifractal differs from the percolation in the regular lattice in two points. The first is related with the coordination number that changes along the multifractal. The second comes from the way the weight of each cell in the multifractal affects the percolation cluster. We compute the fractal dimension of the percolating cluster. Despite the differences, the percolation in a multifractal support is in the universality class of standard percolation.

Anisotropy and Percolation Threshold in a Multifractal Support
Recently a multifractal object, Qmf , was proposed to allow the study of percolation properties in a multifractal support. The area and the number of neighbors of the blocks of Qmf show a non-trivial behavior. The value of the probability of occupation at the percolation threshold, pc, is a function of ρ, a parameter of Qmf which is related to its anisotropy. We investigate the relation between...
متن کاملMultifractality in Percolation
Using renormalization group methods we study multifractality in percolation at the instance of noisy random resistor networks. We introduce the concept of master operators. The multifractal moments of the current distribution (which are proportional to the noise cumulants C (l) R (x, x ′) of the resistance between two sites x and x′ located on the same cluster) are related to such master operat...
متن کاملMultifractality and nonlinear diamagnetic susceptibility in a superconducting network at percolation
2014 We have calculated numerically the current distribution of a two-dimensional Josephson junction network in a magnetic field. At the percolation threshold and in the approximation of linear junctions this distribution is multifractal. We have also considered the lowest order nonlinear corrections to the diamagnetic susceptibility. This correction scales with one of the exponents of the mult...
متن کاملFractals Meet Fractals: Self-Avoiding Random Walks on Percolation Clusters
The scaling behavior of linear polymers in disordered media, modelled by self-avoiding walks (SAWs) on the backbone of percolation clusters in two, three and four dimensions is studied by numerical simulations. We apply the pruned-enriched Rosenbluth chain-growth method (PERM). Our numerical results yield estimates of critical exponents, governing the scaling laws of disorder averages of the co...
متن کاملHeavy tails in last-passage percolation
We consider last-passage percolation models in two dimensions, in which the underlying weight distribution has a heavy tail of index α < 2. We prove scaling laws and asymptotic distributions, both for the passage times and for the shape of optimal paths; these are expressed in terms of a family (indexed by α) of “continuous last-passage percolation” models in the unit square. In the extreme cas...
