It is shown that the percolation problem on a two-dimensional square lattice reduces to the Mandelbrot transformation, leading to a fractal behavior of the percolation probability in the complex plane. The hierarchical chains of impedances, reducing to a nonlinear mapping of the impedance space onto itself, are studied. An infinite continuation of the procedure leads to a fixed point. It is shown that the number of steps required to reach a neighborhood of this point has a fractal distribution.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1997-02-22T12:15:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "percolation theory", "scale invariance", "complex plane", "two-dimensional square lattice reduces", "percolation probability" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "1997cond.mat..2204E" } } }
