Abstract We present an algorithm to compute the exact probability $R_{n}(p)$ for a site percolation cluster to span an $n\times n$ square lattice at occupancy $p$. The algorithm has time and space complexity $O(\lambda^n)$ with $\lambda \approx 2.6$. It allows us to compute $R_{n}(p)$ up to $n=24$. We use the data to compute estimates for the percolation threshold $p_c$ that are several orders of magnitude more precise than estimates based on Monte-Carlo simulations.

Monte Carlo simulations alone could not clarify the corrections to scaling for the size-dependent pc(L) above the upper critical dimension. Including the previous series estimate for the bulk threshold pc (∞) gives preference for the complicated corrections predicted by renormalization group and against the simple 1/L extrapolation. Additional Monte-Carlo simulations using the Leath method corroborate the series result for pc.

The probability of simultaneous occurrence of at least k spanning clusters has been studied by Monte Carlo simulations on the 2D square lattice with free boundaries at the bond percolation threshold pc =1/2. It is found that the probability of k and more Incipient Spanning Clusters (ISC) have the values P(k>1) ≈ 0.00658(3) and P(k>2) ≈ 0.00000148(21) provided that the limit of these probabilities for infinite lattices exists. The probability P(k>3) of more than three ISC could be estimated to be of the order of 10-11 and is beyond the possibility to compute such a value by nowadays computers. So, it is impossible to check in simulations the Aizenman law for the probabilities when k≫1. We have detected a single sample with four ISC in a total number of about 1010 samples investigated. The probability of this single event is 1/10 for that number of samples. The influence of boundary conditions is discussed in the last section.

The tail of the distribution for the "mean cluster size" (susceptibility) at the site percolation threshold is found by Monte Carlo simulations to be exponential. Similar distributions might be expected for the market volatility, if stock price fluctuations are described by Cont–Bouchaud percolation.

For a model of a driven interface in an elastic medium with random obstacles we prove the existence of a stationary positive supersolution at non-vanishing driving force. This shows the emergence of a rate-independent hysteresis through the interaction of the interface with the obstacles despite a linear (force = velocity) microscopic kinetic relation. We also prove a percolation result, namely, the possibility to embed the graph of an only logarithmically growing function in a next-nearest neighbour site percolation cluster at a non-trivial percolation threshold.

In this study, a qualitative equivalence between the electrical percolation threshold and the effective thermal conductivity of composites filled with cylindrical nanofillers has been recognized. The two properties are qualitatively compared on a wide range of aspect ratios, from thin nanoplatelets to long nanotubes. Statistical continuum theory of strong-contrast is utilized to estimate the thermal conductivity of this type of heterogeneous medium, while the percolation threshold is simultaneously evaluated using the Monte Carlo simulations. Statistical two-point probability distribution functions are used as microstructure descriptors for implementing the statistical continuum approach. Monte Carlo simulations are carried out for calculating the two-point correlation functions of computer generated microstructures. Finally, the similarities between the effective conductivity properties and percolation threshold are discussed.

In order to describe the formation of a consensus in human opinion dynamics, in this paper, we study the Sznajd model with probabilistic noise in two dimensions. The time evolution of this system is performed via Monte Carlo simulations. This social behavior model with noise presents a well defined second-order phase transition. For small enough noise q < 0.33 most agents end up sharing the same opinion.
