We then devise a renormalization transformation for $(k,l)$-percolation problems, and investigate its domain of validity. In particular, we show that it allows an exact solution of $(k,l)$-percolation problems on hierarchical graphs, for $k\\leq l<2k$. We introduce and solve by renormalization such a model, which has the interesting feature of showing both ordinary percolation and rigidity percolation phase transitions, depending on the values of the parameters.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-09-04T14:41:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "combinatorial models", "percolation problems", "rigidity percolation phase transitions", "ordinary percolation", "exact solution" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1007/s10955-011-0394-5", "journal": "Journal of Statistical Physics", "year": 2012, "month": "Jan", "volume": 146, "number": 2, "pages": 359 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012JSP...146..359B" } } }
