Critical Phenomena in Percolation Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, the critical behavior of the percolation models is reviewed, with emphasis on the scaling laws present and its relationship with other simple models like the Ising magnet. A liitle bit of the history and some examples of its application are given to illustrate the range of phenomena that can be described with such models.

Introduction to Schramm-Loewner evolution and its application to critical systems
In this short review we look at recent advances in Schramm-Loewner Evolution (SLE) theory and its application to critical phenomena. The application of SLE goes beyond critical systems to other time dependent, scale invariant phenomena such as turbulence, sand-piles and watersheds. Through the use of SLE, the evolution of conformally invariant paths on the complex plane can be followed; hence a...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Percolation Theory and Its Physical Applications
In this paper, we discuss the basic elements of percolation theory, beginning with the physical motivation for the abstraction and the essentials of the bond model on the LD square lattice. The critical phenomenon is introduced, a fundamental concept in percolation theory. We then describe the general use of percolation theory to analyze physical phenomena. We examine one such application in de...
متن کاملCritical phenomena in complex networks
The combination of the compactness of networks, featuring small diameters, and their complex architectures results in a variety of critical effects dramatically different from those in cooperative systems on lattices. In the last few years, researchers have made important steps toward understanding the qualitatively new critical phenomena in complex networks. We review the results, concepts, an...

The review is a brief description of the state of problems in percolation theory and their numerous applications, which are analyzed on base of interesting papers published in the last 15-20 years. At the submitted papers are studied both the cluster system of the physical body and its impact on the object in general, and adequate mathematical tools for description of critical phenomena too.

متن کاملk-core (bootstrap) percolation on complex networks: Critical phenomena and nonlocal effects
We develop the theory of the -core (bootstrap) percolation on uncorrelated random networks with arbitrary degree distributions. We show that the -core percolation is an unusual, hybrid phase transition with a jump emergence of the k-core as at a first order phase transition but also with a critical singularity as at a continuous transition. We describe the properties of the -core, explain the m...
