Critical p=1/2 in percolation on semi-infinite strips
1Faculty of Physics and Astronomy, University of Wrocław, 50-204 Wrocław, Poland.
Abstract:
We study site percolation on lattices confined to a semi-infinite strip. For triangular and square lattices we find that the probability that a cluster touches the three sides of such a system at the percolation threshold has a continuous limit of 1/2 and argue that this limit is universal for planar systems. This value is also expected to hold for finite systems for any self-matching lattice. We attribute this result to the asymptotic symmetry of the separation lines between alternating spanning clusters of occupied and unoccupied sites formed on the original and matching lattice, respectively.

Probability in Statistics
An example of a simple event is a coin toss. The result of a coin toss is either a head or a tail. Here, head and tail are two simple events. These two simple events make up the sample space. Further, the probability of an event occurring falls within the range of 0 to 1. The probability of an...

Routh-Hurwitz Criterion II
The first scenario occurs when a singular zero appears in the first column of the Routh table. This situation creates a division by zero issues. To resolve this, a small positive or negative number, denoted as epsilon (∈), is substituted for the zero. The stability analysis proceeds by assuming a sign for ∈. If ∈ is positive, any sign change in the first...
