Percolation Theory - Different Models

Different Models

  • The first model studied was Bernoulli percolation. In this model all bonds are independent. This model is called bond percolation by physicists.
  • A generalization next was introduced as the Fortuin–Kasteleyn random cluster model, which has many connections with the Ising model and other Potts models.
  • Bernoulli (bond) percolation on complete graphs is an example of a random graph. The critical probability is p = 1/N.
  • Directed percolation, which has connections with the contact process.
  • First passage percolation.
  • Invasion percolation.
  • Percolation with dependency links was introduced by Parshani et.al.
  • Opinion Model

Famous quotes containing the word models:

    French rhetorical models are too narrow for the English tradition. Most pernicious of French imports is the notion that there is no person behind a text. Is there anything more affected, aggressive, and relentlessly concrete than a Parisan intellectual behind his/her turgid text? The Parisian is a provincial when he pretends to speak for the universe.
    Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

    The greatest and truest models for all orators ... is Demosthenes. One who has not studied deeply and constantly all the great speeches of the great Athenian, is not prepared to speak in public. Only as the constant companion of Demosthenes, Burke, Fox, Canning and Webster, can we hope to become orators.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
