An percolation is a discrete
percolation model in which the underlying point
lattice graph
has the properties that each of its graph
vertices is occupied by an atom either of type
or of type
, that there is a probability
that any given vertex
is occupied by an atom of type
, and that different vertices
are occupied independently of each other.
In this model, a graph edge of is said to be open if its end vertices
are occupied by atoms of different types and is said to be closed otherwise. The
idea is based on the hypothesis that dissimilar atoms bond together whereas similar
atoms repel one another.
This model is sometimes studied under the title antipercolation.
