Critical dimensionality for a special percolation problem
نویسنده
چکیده
2014 We consider a set of ideal chains, each with N beads (N ~ 1) inscribed on a d-dimensional periodic lattice. Different chains are uncorrelated : thus any lattice site may belong to more than one chain ; two chains are said to be connected if they have at least one site in common. This defines a percolation problem (where the variable is the fraction c of occupied sites) physically related to a gelation process in polymers. For d > 4 the critical fraction c0 is proportional to N-1 and the behaviour near c0 is of the mean field type. This simplification is due to the fact that c0 ~ c*, where c* (~ N1-d/2) is the concentration at which the chains begin to overlap. For d 4 we expect c0 ~ c* and critical exponents not different from those of a site (or bond) percolation problem. We expect the same critical dimensionality to be maintained for the (more realistic) case of chains coupled by a repulsive interaction.

The Scaling Law for the Discrete Kinetic Growth Percolation Model The critical exponent of the total number of finite clusters α is calculated directly without using scaling hypothesis both below and above the percolation threshold pc based on a kinetic growth percolation model in two and three dimensions.

متن کاملCritical Behavior of Random Resistor Networks
We present numerical data and scaling theories for the critical behavior of random resistor networks near the percolation threshold. We determine the critical exponents of a suitably defined resistance correlation function by a Padé analysis of low-concentration expansions as a function of dimensionality. We verify that d=6 is the critical dimensionality for the onset of mean-field behavior. We...
متن کاملJa n 20 05 Possible crossover of a non universal quantity at the upper critical dimension
We report on a possible crossover of a non universal quantity at the upper critical dimensionality in the field of percolation. Plotting recent estimates for site percolation thresholds of hypercubes in dimension 6 ≤ d ≤ 13 against corresponding predictions from the GM formula pc = p0[(d − 1)(q − 1)] d for percolation thresholds, a significant departure of pc is observed for d ≥ 6. This result ...
متن کاملPercolation on Oriented Square Grid with a Hint of the Fire-fighting Problem
First, we will briefly introduce oriented percolation with our focus on a special orientation on the square grid. Then we will discuss critical probabilities of bond or site percolation on this particular orientation. Finally, we will introduce the Fire-fighting Problem and prove a theorem regarding an upper bound for these critical probabilities in the case that fractional fire-fighters were a...
متن کاملAn Efficient Algorithm for Reducing the Duality Gap in a Special Class of the Knapsack Problem
A special class of the knapsack problem is called the separable nonlinear knapsack problem. This problem has received considerable attention recently because of its numerous applications. Dynamic programming is one of the basic approaches for solving this problem. Unfortunately, the size of state-pace will dramatically increase and cause the dimensionality problem. In this paper, an efficient a...
