Here we use Monte Carlo simulations to study bond percolation on $L_{1}\\times L_{2}$ planar random lattices, duals of random lattices, and square lattices with free and periodic boundary conditions, in vertical and horizontal directions, respectively, and with various aspect ratio $L_{1}/L_{2}$. We calculate the probability for the appearance of $n$ percolating clusters, $W_{n},$ the percolating probabilities, $P$, the average fraction of lattice bonds (sites) in the percolating clusters, $_{n}$ ($_{n}$), and the probability distribution function for the fraction $c$ of lattice bonds (sites), in percolating clusters of subgraphs with $n$ percolating clusters, $f_{n}(c^{b})$ ($f_{n}(c^{s})$). Using a small number of nonuniversal metric factors, we find that $W_{n}$, $P$, $_{n}$ ($_{n}$), and $f_{n}(c^{b})$ ($f_{n}(c^{s})$) for random lattices, duals of random lattices, and square lattices have the same universal finite-size scaling functions. We also find that nonuniversal metric factors are independent of boundary conditions and aspect ratios.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2001-03-30T15:07:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "multiple percolating clusters", "square lattices", "universal scaling functions", "planar random", "bond percolation" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
