Series expansion of the percolation threshold on hypercubic lattices

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study proper lattice animals for bond- and site-percolation on the hypercubic lattice mathbbZd to derive asymptotic series of the percolation threshold pc in 1/d, The first few terms of these series were computed in the 1970s, but the series have not been extended since then. We add two more terms to the series for pcsite and one more term to the series for pcbond, using a combination of brute-force enumeration, combinatorial identities and an approach based on Pad'e approximants, which requires much fewer resources than the classical method. We discuss why it took 40 years to compute these terms, and what it would take to compute the next ones. En passant, we present new perimeter polynomials for site and bond percolation and numerical values for the growth rate of bond animals.
