A critical exponent for shortest-path scaling in continuum percolation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We carry out Monte Carlo experiments to study the scaling behavior of shortest path lengths in continuum percolation. These studies suggest that the critical exponent governing this scaling is the same for both continuum and lattice percolation. We use splitting, a technique that has not yet been fully exploited in the physics literature, to increase the speed of our simulations. This technique can also be applied to other models where clusters are grown sequentially.

Bridge Percolation
In bridge percolation one gives a special weight to bridges, i.e., bonds that if occupied would create the first spanning cluster. We show that, for p > pc, even far away from the critical point of classical percolation, the set of bridge bonds is fractal with a fractal dimension dBB = 1.215±0.002. This new percolation exponent is related to various different models like, e.g., the optimal path...
متن کاملTHE SCALING LAW FOR THE DISCRETE KINETIC GROWTH PERCOLATION MODEL
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. Simultaneously, we can calculate other critical exponents β and γ, and show that the scal...
متن کاملPair Connectedness and Shortest Path Scaling in Critical Percolation
We present high statistics data on the distribution of shortest path lengths between two near-by points on the same cluster at the percolation threshold. Our data are based on a new and very efficient algorithm. For d = 2 they clearly disprove a recent conjecture by M. Porto et al., Phys. Rev. E 58, R5205 (1998). Our data also provide upper bounds on the probability that two near-by points are ...
متن کاملFlow between two sites on a percolation cluster
We study the flow of fluid in porous media in dimensions d=2 and 3. The medium is modeled by bond percolation on a lattice of L(d) sites, while the flow front is modeled by tracer particles driven by a pressure difference between two fixed sites ("wells") separated by Euclidean distance r. We investigate the distribution function of the shortest path connecting the two sites, and propose a scal...
متن کاملCritical Percolation Exploration Path and SLE 6 : a Proof of Convergence
It was argued by Schramm and Smirnov that the critical site percolation exploration path on the triangular lattice converges in distribution to the trace of chordal SLE6. We provide here a detailed proof, which relies on Smirnov’s theorem that crossing probabilities have a conformally invariant scaling limit (given by Cardy’s formula). The version of convergence to SLE6 that we prove suffices f...
