Percolation theory constitutes a cornerstone of statistical physics, offering a framework to understand how local connectivity in systems gives rise to macroscopic phase transitions. Originally ...

Bootstrap percolation, a model of irreversible activation on graphs, has emerged as a pivotal area within graph theory and statistical mechanics. In this process, nodes (or vertices) on a network are ...

Scientists have developed a modeling technique to study urban traffic flows and show that their model can be used to find previously unknown bottlenecks. The model uses a modified form of percolation ...
