Abstract
The self-organized percolation process (SOP) is a growth model in which
a critical percolation state is reached through self-organization. By
controlling the number of sites or bonds in the growth front of the
aggregate, the system is spontaneously driven to a stationary state that
corresponds to approximately the percolation threshold of the lattice
topology and percolation process. The SOP model is applied here to site
and bond percolation in several regular lattices in two and three
dimensions (triangular, honeycomb and simple cubic), as well as in a
disordered network (Voronoi-Delaunai). Based on these results, we
propose the use of this growth algorithm as a plausible model to
describe the dynamics and the anomalous geometrical properties of some
natural processes. (C) 2002 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
