We estimate the critical thresholds of bond and site percolation on nonplanar, effectively two-dimensional graphs with chimeralike topology. The building blocks of these graphs are complete and symmetric bipartite subgraphs of size 2n, referred to as K_{n,n} graphs. For the numerical simulations we use an efficient union-find-based algorithm and employ a finite-size scaling analysis to obtain the critical properties for both bond and site percolation. We report the respective percolation…

This work considers sets of deterministic sparse couplings that naturally interpolate between local circuits that slowly scramble information and highly nonlocal circuits that achieve the fast-scrambling limit, and finds that circuits featuring sparse nonlocal interactions are able to withstand substantially higher rates of local measurement than circuits with only local interactions.

This work presents a generalized global update optimization heuristic that can be applied to different NP-complete problems with Boolean variables, and illustrates the efficiency of the heuristic on paradigmatic optimization problems, such as the maximum satisfiability problem and the vertex cover problem.

An exact solution of the model for both site and bond percolation is given, including the position of thePercolation transition at which epidemic behavior sets in, the values of the critical exponents governing this transition, the mean and variance of the distribution of cluster sizes below the transition, and the size of the giant component (epidemic) above the transition.

The results rule out the conjecture by Hsu and Huang that the bond thresholds are 2/3 and 1/3, respectively, but support the conjecture of Wierman that, for fully triangulated lattices other than the regular triangular lattice, the bond threshold is less than 2 sin pi/18 approximately 0.3473.

An efficient algorithm is described that can measure an observable quantity in a percolation system for all values of the site or bond occupation probability from zero to one in an amount of time that scales linearly with the size of the system.
