Emergence of biconnected clusters in explosive percolation

L Yang, M Li - Physical Review E, 2024 - APS
By introducing a simple competition mechanism for bond insertion in random graphs,
explosive percolation exhibits a sharp phase transition with rich critical phenomena. We …

[HTML][HTML] Ising percolation in a three-state majority vote model

AS Balankin, MA Martínez-Cruz, FG Martínez, B Mena… - Physics Letters A, 2017 - Elsevier
In this Letter, we introduce a three-state majority vote model in which each voter adopts a
state of a majority of its active neighbors, if exist, but the voter becomes uncommitted if its …

Dynamical cluster size heterogeneity

A de Azevedo-Lopes, AR de la Rocha… - Physical Review E, 2020 - APS
Only recently has the essential role of the percolation critical point been considered on the
dynamical properties of connected regions of aligned spins (domains) after a sudden …

Aster repulsion drives local ordering in an active system

J de-Carvalho, S Tlili, L Hufnagel, TE Saunders… - BioRxiv, 2020 - biorxiv.org
Biological systems are a form of active matter, which often undergo rapid changes in their
material state, eg. liquid to solid transitions. Yet, such systems often also display remarkably …

A branching random-walk model of disease outbreaks and the percolation backbone

PMC de Oliveira, DA Stariolo… - Journal of Physics A …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
