It also describes the conditions under which there may be a continuously connected path of local elements across the medium. The point at which the path is formed is called the percolation threshold. Percolation theory also predicts that many macroscopic properties of complex media follow universal power laws near the percolation threshold that are independent of many microscopic features of such media. There are many applications of percolation theory across the natural sciences, from porous materials, to composite solids, complex networks, and biological systems. This book presents the essential elements of percolation theory, covers the problem of calculating the exponents that characterize the power laws that the percolation quantities follow near the percolation threshold, provides a clear description of the geometry of percolation clusters of the connected paths, and addresses several variations of percolation theory. In particular, bootstrap percolation, explosive percolation, and invasion percolation are featured, which expand the range of natural systems to which percolation may be applicable. In addition, coverage includes several important applications of percolation theory to a range of phenomena, ranging from electrical conductivity, thermopower, the Hall effect, and photoconductivity of disordered semiconductors, to flow, transport and reaction in porous media, geochemistry, biology, and ecology. 410 0$aEncyclopedia of Complexity and Systems Science Series,$x2629-2343 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aEarth sciences 606 $aGraph theory 606 $aPhysics 606 $aCatalysis 606 $aCondensed matter 606 $aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics 606 $aEarth Sciences 606 $aGraph Theory 606 $aClassical and Continuum Physics 606 $aCatalysis 606 $aPhase Transitions and Multiphase Systems 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 0$aEarth sciences. 615 0$aGraph theory. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aCatalysis. 615 0$aCondensed matter. 615 14$aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics. 615 24$aEarth Sciences. 615 24$aGraph Theory. 615 24$aClassical and Continuum Physics. 615 24$aCatalysis. 615 24$aPhase Transitions and Multiphase Systems. 676 $a530.13 702 $aSahimi$b Muhammad 702 $aHunt$b Allen G. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495191203321 996 $aComplex media and percolation theory$92843005 997 $aUNINA
