The ranges of transmission of the mobiles in a Mobile Ad-hoc Network are not uniform in reality. They are affected by the temperature fluctuation in air, obstruction due to the solid objects, even the humidity difference in the environment, etc. How the varying range of transmission of the individual active elements affects the global connectivity in the network may be an important practical question to ask. Here a new model of percolation phenomena, with an additional source of disorder, has been introduced for a theoretical understanding of this problem. As in ordinary percolation, sites of a square lattice are occupied randomly with the probability $p$. Each occupied site is then assigned a circular disc of random value $R$ for its radius. A bond is defined to be occupied if and only if the radii $R_1$ and $R_2$ of the discs centered at the ends satisfy certain pre-defined condition. In a very general formulation, one divides the $R_1 - R_2$ plane into two regions by an arbitrary closed curve. One defines that a point within one region represents an occupied bond, otherwise it is a vacant bond. Study of three different rules under this general formulation, indicates that the percolation threshold is always larger and varies continuously. This threshold has two limiting values, one is $p_c$(sq), the percolation threshold for the ordinary site percolation on the square lattice and the other being unity. The variation of the thresholds are characterized by exponents, which are not known in the literature. In a special case, all lattice sites are occupied by discs of random radii $R in {0,R_0}$ and a percolation transition is observed with $R_0$ as the control variable, similar to the site occupation probability.
Discontinuous transition is observed in the equilibrium cluster properties of a percolation model with suppressed cluster growth as the growth parameter g0 is tuned to the critical threshold at sufficiently low initial seed concentration rho in contrast to the previously reported results on non- equilibrium growth models. In the present model, the growth process follows all the criteria of the original percolation model except continuously updated occupation probability of the lattice sites that suppresses the growth of a cluster according to its size. As rho varied from higher values to smaller values, a line of continuous transition points encounters a coexistence region of spanning and non- spanning large clusters. At sufficiently small values of rho (less equal 0.05), the growth parameter g0 exceeds the usual percolation threshold and generates compact spanning clusters leading to discontinuous transitions.
A phase diagram for a one dimensional fiber bundle model is constructed with a continuous variation in two parameters guiding dynamics of the model: strength of disorder and system size. We monitor the successive events of fiber rupture in order to understand the spatial correlation associated with it. We observe three distinct regions with increasing disorder strength. (I) Nucleation - a crack propagates from a particular nucleus with very high spatial correlation and causes global failure; (II) Avalanche - the rupture events show precursors activities with a number of bursts. (III) Percolation - the rupture events are spatially uncorrelated like a percolation process. As the size of the bundle is increased, it favors the nucleating failure. In the thermodynamic limit, we only observe a nucleating failure unless the disorder strength is infinitely high.
We study the dynamics of a carrier, which performs a biased motion under the influence of an external field E, in an environment which is modeled by dynamic percolation and created by hard-core particles. The particles move randomly on a simple cubic lattice, constrained by hard-core exclusion, and they spontaneously annihilate and re-appear at some prescribed rates. Using decoupling of the third-order correlation functions into the product of the pairwise carrier-particle correlations we determine the density profiles of the environment particles, as seen from the stationary moving carrier, and calculate its terminal velocity, V_c, as the function of the applied field and other system parameters. We find that for sufficiently small driving forces the force exerted on the carrier by the environment particles shows a viscous-like behavior. An analog Stokes formula for such dynamic percolative environments and the corresponding friction coefficient are derived. We show that the density profile of the environment particles is strongly inhomogeneous: In front of the stationary moving carrier the density is higher than the average density, $rho_s$, and approaches the average value as an exponential function of the distance from the carrier. Past the carrier the local density is lower than $rho_s$ and the relaxation towards $rho_s$ may proceed differently depending on whether the particles number is or is not explicitly conserved.
The spatial correlation during a failure event of a one-dimensional fiber bundle model is studied when three main parameters guiding the dynamics of the model is tuned: the fluctuation of local strength ($beta$), range of stress relaxation ($gamma$), and size of the bundle ($L$). Both increasing disorder strength and stress release range favor rupture events, random in space like percolation. An increase in system size on the other hand nucleating failure. At an intermediate disorder strength and stress release range, when these two parameters compete, the failure process shows avalanches and precursor activities. A complex phase diagram on the $beta-gamma-L$ plane is presented showing different failure modes - nucleation, avalanche, and percolation, depending on the spatial correlation observed during the failure process.
We introduce a correlated static model and investigate a percolation transition. The model is a modification of the static model and is characterized by assortative degree-degree correlation. As one varies the edge density, the network undergoes a percolation transition. The percolation transition is characterized by a weak singular behavior of the mean cluster size and power-law scalings of the percolation order parameter and the cluster size distribution in the entire non-percolating phase. These results suggest that the assortative degree-degree correlation generates a global structural correlation which is relevant to the percolation critical phenomena of complex networks.
