Abstract

In this paper, a 40-year-old theorem is tested, that the incipient percolation cluster has a fractal dimension equal to 91/48. With the Newman–Ziff algorithm, we measure the mass M of the incipient percolation cluster (i.e., the size of the largest cluster at the percolation threshold) versus the linear system size L which (after averaging over Inline graphic system realizations) nicely follows the power law Inline graphic with exponents Inline graphic ranging from 1.893954 to 1.89823 for the square lattice. The obtained fractal dimension agrees well with its analytical partner and those confirmed numerically earlier for compact neighborhoods with the nearest-neighbors on triangular and square lattices and holds for other considered neighborhoods on square lattice, including those that are not-compact. With six digits of the accuracy of reaching the percolation threshold, the percentage error of the numerical values obtained for the fractal dimension ranges from 0.028‰ to 1.264‰, which strengthens the earlier results confirming the universality of the fractality of the incipient percolation cluster. Using the Hoshen–Kopelman algorithm for cluster identification for Inline graphic and the box-counting procedure for the evaluation of the fractal dimension, after Inline graphic system realizations, we reached the percentage error of the numerical values obtained for the fractal dimension from 5‰ to 7‰, which is much worse than the percentage error obtained directly from the mass of the incipient percolation cluster as a function of the linear size of the system. Our results indicate that universality of fractality of the incipient percolation cluster is valid also for complex (non-compact) neighborhoods, which allow for occupied site connections with more ‘holes’ in cluster than allowed for extended (compact) neighborhoods. Also for a simple cubic lattice we get Inline graphic—independently on assumed neighborhoods—although these values are slightly higher than known in literature.

Introduction

One of the core problems in statistical physics is considered a percolation13, which is a purely geometrical example of a system that exhibits the phase transition. This phase transition (in the case of the so-called site percolation) occurs at the critical occupancy Inline graphic of the sites in the system. Below Inline graphic the system behaves as an insulator (does not allow any medium flow among the system borders—to keep the original nomenclature taken from the rheology, where the percolation phenomenon was originally described4), while for the probability of site occupancy p above Inline graphic the path connects the system borders (allowing liquid or current flow among them).

At Inline graphic the system of occupied sites—incipient percolation cluster (IPC)5—exhibits fractal properties (see Reference 6 for the most recent review), which means that its mass M scales with the linear size L of the system as

instead of according to Inline graphic, where Inline graphic and d are the fractal dimension and the dimension of the space in which the system is embedded, respectively.

The theoretical value of the fractal dimension Inline graphic79 of the IPC for two-dimensional (Inline graphic) lattices has universal character and it is equal [2, Equations (54b) and (49)], [10, Table I and Table III] to

graphic file with name d33e301.gif 2

where Inline graphic, Inline graphic and Inline graphic are universal exponents responsible for the scaling properties of the system [2, p. 54]. Namely, the exponent Inline graphic [2, p. 31] scales the percolation strength, Inline graphic[2, Equation (25)] characterizes the exponential decay of the number of clusters of size s with this size, while the exponent Inline graphic [2, Equation (47c)] governs the scaling of the length of connectivity as p approaches Inline graphic. The fractal dimension of the IPC in two dimensions is equal to Inline graphic [2, p. 54], [6, p. 2], [8, p. 393]. As pointed out by Li and Deng11: “the fractal dimension Inline graphic in 2D is predicted by Coulomb gas arguments12,13, conformal field theory14,15, and stochastic Löwner evolution theory16,17, and it has been rigorously proven on the triangular lattice18”. The Coulomb gas formulation yield Inline graphic also earlier in Reference19. This value was also calculated in extensive numerical simulations first for the triangular lattice [2, p. 70] and then confirmed for the square lattice20.

The old concept of extended neighborhoods introduced by Dalton et al.21 and Domb and Dalton22 (and extensively studied by d’Iribarne et al.23) was recently revived in a series of articles dealing with the percolation process in various topologies and various dimensionalities of the system with compact2429 and non-compact3041 neighborhoods containing sites up to the ninth coordination zone (for compact neighborhoods) and up to the seventh coordination zone (for non-compact neighborhoods). The non-compact neighborhoods contain extra ‘holes’. The presence of these ‘holes’ can, in principle, change the fractality of the system (for example, to decrease the fractal dimension Inline graphic of the IPC).

In this paper, we check if universality of the fractal dimension Inline graphic of the IPC also holds for non-compact neighborhoods, that is, for those which contain above-mentioned ‘holes’. With computer simulations, we check if the fractal dimension Inline graphic of the IPC for square and simple cubic lattices and non-compact neighborhoods is still constant independently of complexity of neighborhood (for assumed lattice dimensionality). Our results show that in fact the universality of the fractal dimension holds also for complex (and also non-compact) neighborhoods.

The paper is organized as follows. In the next Section “Methods” we provide the methodology of our studies, then we present the results of computer simulations (in Section “Results”). The results obtained are summarized in Section “Conclusions”. Examples of IPC and examples of site labeling for various neighborhoods for square lattices are presented in the Supplemental Material42.

Methods

We calculate the fractal dimension Inline graphic of the IPC (i.e., the largest cluster of occupied sites for occupation probability Inline graphic) for various neighborhoods presented in Fig. 1 on square [Fig. 1(a)–(h)] and simple cubic [Fig. 1(i)–(ff)] lattices. For neighborhoods names, we keep the convention proposed in the Reference44. For a simple cubic lattice, we decided to use the partial neighborhoods sc-8* and sc-8 of sc-8 to be able to combine them with other neighborhoods to obtain the three-dimensional equivalence of sq-1,3,6 [Fig. 1(e)] and sq-1,3,4,5 [Fig. 1(d)], respectively. In this way, the neighborhood sc-1,4,8 [Fig. 1(q)–(t)] is as 3d equivalence of sq-1,3,6 (six sticks of length three) and the neighborhood sc-1,4,5,6,7,8*,11 [Fig. 1(x)–(z)] is 3d equivalence of sq-1,3,4,5 (as the faces of cubic accompanied with six sticks but with empty sites inside cubic).

To calculate the fractal dimension Inline graphic, we measure the dependence of the mass M of the IPC as dependent on the linear lattice size L. Then, the least squares method was used to fit a straight line to the dependence Inline graphic according to Eq. (1).

The Newman–Ziff algorithm

To create IPC, knowledge of the percolation threshold Inline graphic is required. For sq-1 and sq-1,2 the values Inline graphic are known with a precision of 15 digits. Six-digit precision has been achieved for the sq-1,3,6, sq-4,6, sq-2,4,7 and sq-5,6,7 neighborhoods. The values of Inline graphic and Inline graphic are known only with Inline graphic accuracy, and we have to recalculate them to reach the accuracy as for the above-mentioned neighborhoods. Also, for a simple cubic lattice and various neighborhoods, we calculate percolation thresholds Inline graphic. To that end, we use the efficient Newman and Ziff Monte Carlo algorithm45 and the finite-size scaling theory46,47.

According to the finite-size scaling theory46,47 in the vicinity of the percolation threshold Inline graphic the probability of belonging to the largest cluster

graphic file with name d33e1054.gif 3

scales with the linear size of the system L and the distance to the critical point Inline graphic as

graphic file with name d33e1071.gif 4

where Inline graphic is the size (mass) of the largest cluster, the critical exponents Inline graphic, Inline graphic (for two-dimensional lattices) [2, p. 52], Inline graphic48, Inline graphic49 (for three-dimensional lattices), and Inline graphic is a scaling function. Please note that at Inline graphic the rescaled probability of belonging to the largest cluster Inline graphic is independent of the size of the system L. This allows us to estimate the percolation threshold Inline graphic by searching the common point of Inline graphic versus p plotted for various values of L.

The size Inline graphic of the largest cluster (presented, for example, in Fig. 2(b)) is calculated with the Newman and Ziff algorithm45. Fortunately, to get the percolation threshold, we first need Inline graphic, which for Inline graphic is exactly the required mass M of the IPC.

(b) The largest cluster extracted from clusters given in the left panel. More examples of the shapes of the IPC for sq-1, sq-1,2, sq-1,3,6, sq-4,6, sq-3,4,5 and sq-1,3,4,5 are presented in black-and-white panels of Figures 1 to 6 in the Supplemental Material42.

The algorithm is fast and efficient as it is based on the recursive construction of the system with n occupied sites with the addition of only one occupied site to the system containing Inline graphic already occupied sites. Then convolution with the binomial (Bernoulli) probability distribution allows us to transform Inline graphic in the domain of the number n of occupied sites into Inline graphic in the domain p of the probability of site occupation. The immanent part of the Newman and Ziff algorithm45 is also a concept of the efficient construction of binomial coefficients.

The Hoshen–Kopelman algorithm

To get an idea of the shape of the IPC for a square lattice and various neighborhoods, we employ the Hoshen and Kopelman algorithm35,50,51. With the Hoshen and Kopelman algorithm, every site is labeled. Sites in the same cluster have the same labels, while the labels for various clusters are different. The main idea of this algorithm is to check every occupied site and its occupied neighbors. The analyzed site is labeled with lower label among occupied and so far labeled neighbors. In case when simultaneously two labels should be assigned, one should choose the lower one and remember that higher of them should be relabeled to lower one.

In Fig. 2(a) example of site labels for sq-1,2 and Inline graphic is presented. Various colors correspond to various labels. More examples of cluster labeling for the square lattice with neighborhoods sq-1, sq-1,2, sq-1,3,6, sq-4,6, sq-3,4,5 and sq-1,3,4,5 are presented in color panels of Figures 1 to 6 in the Supplementary Materials42, respectively. We note that similar pictures of the largest percolation cluster—but for the bond percolation problem—were presented in Figures 1–4 in Reference52.

The box-counting technique

Alternatively to Eq. (1), for the estimation of the fractal dimension Inline graphic one may apply the box-counting technique [8, pp. 240–243]. With this technique, to estimate the fractal dimension Inline graphic of a given set (figure in two-dimensional space), one needs to count the number B of all boxes that intersect (or even touch) the considered figure. This counting should be repeated for different side lengths b of the boxes. Then, the fractal dimension is recovered from

graphic file with name d33e1362.gif 5

dependence. The example of box-counting for the IPC (for sq-1,3,4,5 neighborhood, Figure 6(b) in the Supplemental Material42) is presented in Fig. 3.

Results

For the sq-3,4,5 and sq-1,3,4,5 neighborhoods, the precision of the estimation of Inline graphic is of the order Inline graphic, namely Inline graphic32,40 and Inline graphic32,40. Thus, with the technique described in Section “Methods” we improved their accuracy to the order Inline graphic. The thresholds Inline graphic obtained by inspection of the rescaled probability of belonging to the largest cluster Inline graphic as dependent on the site occupation probability p are 0.17288 [see Fig. 4(a)] and 0.17922 [see Fig. 4(b)], for sq-1,3,4,5 and sq-3,4,5, respectively.

The common crossing point indicates the Inline graphic. The estimated percolation thresholds are Inline graphic, Inline graphic, Inline graphic and Inline graphic.

For a simple cubic lattice, and the neighborhoods considered here, we are warned of the percolation threshold only for the nearest neighbors (with the most recent estimate of Inline graphic53) and sc-1,2,3 (with estimation of Inline graphic21, Inline graphic33 and Inline graphic24).

Using the technique described in Section “Methods” we estimate Inline graphic values with uncertainty of Inline graphic for the neighborhoods presented in Fig. 1(i)–(ff). The examples of the rescaled probability of belonging to the largest cluster Inline graphic as dependent on the site occupation probability p for simple cubic lattice are presented in Fig. 4(c)–(d). The obtained percolation thresholds are presented in Table 1.

The dependencies of Inline graphic for various L and for various neighborhoods are presented in Fig. 5(a) (for the square lattice) and Fig. 5(b) (for the simple cubic lattice). The values of Inline graphic according to the Newman and Ziff algorithm are averaged over Inline graphic simulations. The solid lines are the results of power-law fits (1) with the least squares method. The uncertainties in the estimation of these exponents represent the uncertainties of Inline graphic, that is, the uncertainties of the estimation of slope of the linear fit to the Inline graphic vs. Inline graphic dependency. The fractal dimensions obtained with their uncertainties are presented in Table 1.

Conclusions

The fractal dimension of the IPC in two dimensions has universal character (i.e., it does not depend on the details regarding the lattice or neighborhoods and depends only on the dimensionality of the system) and for Inline graphic it is equal to 91/48. This theoretical value was confirmed in an extensive numerical simulation first for the triangular [2, p. 70] lattice, then for the square20 lattice. In this paper, the fractal dimension Inline graphic of the IPC is also calculated for square and simple cubic lattices with various extended and complex neighborhoods.

Complex neighborhoods like sq-3,4,5 (Fig. 1(c)), sq-1,3,4,5 (Fig. 1(d)), sq-4,6 (Fig. 1(f)), sq-2,4,7 (Fig. 1(g)) and sq-5,6,7 (Fig. 1(h)) are non-compact, they contain ‘holes’ and thus in principle, potentially, can change (reduce) the fractal dimension Inline graphic of IPC below theoretically predicted value Inline graphic.

Our results show that even for non-compact neighborhoods, the percentage error (6) of the measured fractal dimension Inline graphic with respect to its theoretical partner Inline graphic does not exceed 0.1264%, which strengthens the hypothesis of universality of the fractal dimension for IPC. Also for the three-dimensional case we see very similar behavior: independently on assumed neighborhood the obtained values of the fractal dimension Inline graphic do not depend on assumed shape of neighborhood, even when it is both complex and non-compact. For the simple cubic lattice Inline graphic—independently on assumed neighborhoods—although these values are slightly higher than known in the literature for the simple cubic lattice with the nearest-neighbors interactions (Inline graphic55, 2.530(4)56, 2.5230(1)57, 2.5226(1)58, 2.52293(10)53 and 2.52288(66) here). This spread of values Inline graphic comes from both: a not exactly known value of Inline graphic (which affects the values Inline graphic) and from the accuracy (Inline graphic) of estimating values of Inline graphic.

Furthermore, for the square lattice, we used the Hoshen and Kopelman algorithm to generate lattices with sites occupied with probability Inline graphic as long as necessary to obtain Inline graphic lattices where the largest cluster spans from top to bottom of the lattice and the linear size of the lattice is Inline graphic. These Inline graphic IPC created for Inline graphic are taken into account for the averaging procedure to estimate the number B of boxes of side length b. The plots (not shown) of B(b) on a logarithmic scale allow the fitting of a straight line with its slope giving the fractal dimension Inline graphic. Independently of the considered neighborhood, the power law (5) holds well for three and a half decades, that is, for the box length Inline graphic. However, we note that with this technique the percentage error Inline graphic of the obtained values Inline graphic ranges from 5‰ to 7‰, i.e., is much higher than this given by direct fit Inline graphic from Eq. (1).

Both, for square and simple cubic lattices, the values of fractal dimension obtained here are very close to each other, strengthening theories that the fractal dimension of IPC depends only on the lattice dimension d, and not on the details regarding the lattice, including the assumed neighborhood.

Further studies may concentrate on confirmation of the fractal dimension value Inline graphic of the IPC for non-compact neighborhoods for other two-dimensional lattices, like triangular36,37,40 or honeycomb38,40, where the percolation thresholds are known with six-digits accuracy or new models applying percolation theory59. Moreover, finding with better accuracy values Inline graphic, Inline graphic, and Inline graphic for simple cubic lattice and complex neighborhoods may bring a narrower spread of Inline graphic. Also, applying such checks for higher-dimensional (non-physical-dimensional) lattices (like hypercubes in four26,35,6062 and five29,62 or higher63,64 dimensions) may be scientifically attractive.
