Directed percolation in two dimensions: An exact solution

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider a directed percolation process on an calM x calN rectangular lattice whose vertical edges are directed upward with an occupation probability y and horizontal edges directed toward the right with occupation probabilities x and 1 in alternate rows. We deduce a closed-form expression for the percolation probability P(x,y), the probability that one or more directed paths connect the lower-left and upper-right corner sites of the lattice. It is shown that P(x,y) is critical in the aspect ratio a=calM/calN at a value ac=[1−y2−x(1−y)2]/2y2 where P(x,y) is discontinuous, and the critical exponent of the correlation length for a<ac is u=2.
