Network-Growth Rule Dependence of Fractal Dimension of Percolation Cluster on Square Lattice
Shu Tanaka and Ryo TamuraJournal of the Physical Society of Japan 82, 053002 (2013)
Main ResultsWe studied percolation transition behavior in a network growth model. We focused on network-growth rule dependence of percolation cluster geometry.
- A generalized network-growth rule was constructed.
- As the speed of growth increases, the roughness parameter of percolation cluster decreases.
- As the speed of growth increases, the fractal dimension of percolation cluster increases.

"1(inverse Achlioptas rule), "10"2, 0 (random rule), 10"5,10"2, and #1 (Achlioptas rule) from left to right. Thecorresponding gyradius dependence of np is shown in thelower panels of Fig. 5(a), which are obtained by calculationon lattice sizes from L ! 64 to 1280. The dotted linesare obtained by least-squares estimation using Eq. (2).Figure 5(b) shows the fractal dimension as a function of q.The fractal dimension for the inverse Achlioptas rule andthat for the random rule are of similar value, whereas thatfor the Achlioptas rule obviously di!ers from them. Noticethat the fractal dimension of a percolation cluster at thepercolation point on a two-dimensional lattice is D !91=48 ’ 1:896 $ $ $3) which is almost the same value as thefractal dimension for q ! 0. This result is consistent with theresult shown in Fig. 4(b). If the cluster is of porous structure,the fractal dimension becomes small.
In this paper, we investigated certain geometric aspects ofpercolation clusters under a network-growth rule in whichthe introduced parameter q assigns the rule. Since our ruleincludes both the Achlioptas rule7) and the random rulewhere elements are randomly connected step by step, ourrule can be regarded as a generalized network-growth rule.We studied the time evolution of the number of elements inthe largest cluster. As q increases (i.e., the rule approachesthe Achlioptas rule), the percolation step is delayed and thetime evolution of nmax becomes explosive. We also studiedanother geometric property of the percolation clusterthrough ns=np, which represents the roughness of thepercolation cluster. The ratio ns=np monotonically decreasesagainst q. From these facts, the network-growth speed andgeometric properties of the percolation cluster change bytuning q. Fractal dimensions for several q’s were alsocalculated. We found that as q increases, the fractaldimension of percolation cluster increases. It is expectedthat the fractal dimension changes continuously as a functionof q. However, since the accuracy of the fractal dimensionshown in Fig. 5(b) is not enough to conclude the expecta-tion, we should calculate more larger systems with highaccuracy.
In this study we focused on the case of a two-dimensionalsquare lattice. To investigate the relation between the spatialdimension and more detailed characteristics of percolation(e.g., critical exponents) for our proposed rule is a remainingproblem. Since our rule is a general rule for many network-growth problems, it enables us to design the nature ofpercolation. In this paper, we studied the fixed q-dependenceof the percolation phenomenon. However, for instance, in asocial network, it is possible that q changes with time. Thenit is an interesting problem to consider the percolationphenomenon with a time-dependent q under our rule. Westrongly believe that our rule will provide a greaterunderstanding of percolation and will be applied for manynetwork-growth phenomena in nature and informationtechnology.

Suppose we consider a network model on square lattice.Assumption: All elements are isolated in the initial state.
Assumption: Clusters are never separated.We refer to this network-growth rule as Achlioptas rule.
In this rule, a discontinuous percolation transition occurs !?D. Achlioptas, R.M. D’Souza, J. Spencer, Science 323, 1453 (2009).
Motivation✔ Conventional percolation transition is a continuous transition. But it was reported that a discontinuous percolation transition can occur depending on network-growth rule (Achlioptas rule). This transition is called “explosive percolation transition”.
✔ Nature of explosive percolation transition has been con!rmed well. But there are some studies which insisted “explosive percolation is actually continuous”.
We consider nature of percolation transition in network-growth model.
✔ Which is the explosive percolation transition discontinuous or continuous? To understand this major challenge, we introduced a parameter which enables us to consider the network-growth model in a uni!ed way.

As q increases, the roughness parameter ns/np decreases!!
As q increases, the fractal dimension of percolation cluster increases!!
Main ResultsWe studied percolation transition behavior in a network growth model. We focused on network-growth rule dependence of percolation cluster.
- A generalized network-growth rule was constructed.
- As the speed of growth increases, the roughness parameter of percolation cluster decreases.
- As the speed of growth increases, the fractal dimension of percolation cluster increases.

conventional self-similar structure. The upper panels ofFig. 5(a) show snapshots of the percolation cluster and thesecond-largest cluster at the percolation point for q ! "1(inverse Achlioptas rule), "10"2, 0 (random rule), 10"5,10"2, and #1 (Achlioptas rule) from left to right. Thecorresponding gyradius dependence of np is shown in thelower panels of Fig. 5(a), which are obtained by calculationon lattice sizes from L ! 64 to 1280. The dotted linesare obtained by least-squares estimation using Eq. (2).Figure 5(b) shows the fractal dimension as a function of q.The fractal dimension for the inverse Achlioptas rule andthat for the random rule are of similar value, whereas thatfor the Achlioptas rule obviously di!ers from them. Noticethat the fractal dimension of a percolation cluster at thepercolation point on a two-dimensional lattice is D !91=48 ’ 1:896 $ $ $3) which is almost the same value as thefractal dimension for q ! 0. This result is consistent with theresult shown in Fig. 4(b). If the cluster is of porous structure,the fractal dimension becomes small.
In this paper, we investigated certain geometric aspects ofpercolation clusters under a network-growth rule in whichthe introduced parameter q assigns the rule. Since our ruleincludes both the Achlioptas rule7) and the random rulewhere elements are randomly connected step by step, ourrule can be regarded as a generalized network-growth rule.We studied the time evolution of the number of elements inthe largest cluster. As q increases (i.e., the rule approachesthe Achlioptas rule), the percolation step is delayed and thetime evolution of nmax becomes explosive. We also studiedanother geometric property of the percolation clusterthrough ns=np, which represents the roughness of thepercolation cluster. The ratio ns=np monotonically decreasesagainst q. From these facts, the network-growth speed andgeometric properties of the percolation cluster change bytuning q. Fractal dimensions for several q’s were alsocalculated. We found that as q increases, the fractaldimension of percolation cluster increases. It is expectedthat the fractal dimension changes continuously as a functionof q. However, since the accuracy of the fractal dimensionshown in Fig. 5(b) is not enough to conclude the expecta-tion, we should calculate more larger systems with highaccuracy.
In this study we focused on the case of a two-dimensionalsquare lattice. To investigate the relation between the spatialdimension and more detailed characteristics of percolation(e.g., critical exponents) for our proposed rule is a remainingproblem. Since our rule is a general rule for many network-growth problems, it enables us to design the nature ofpercolation. In this paper, we studied the fixed q-dependenceof the percolation phenomenon. However, for instance, in asocial network, it is possible that q changes with time. Thenit is an interesting problem to consider the percolationphenomenon with a time-dependent q under our rule. Westrongly believe that our rule will provide a greaterunderstanding of percolation and will be applied for manynetwork-growth phenomena in nature and informationtechnology.
