Percolation thresholds on two-dimensional Voronoi networks and Delaunay triangulations
Abstract
The site percolation threshold for the random Voronoi network is determined numerically, with the result pc=0.71410±0.00002 , using Monte Carlo simulation on periodic systems of up to 40000 sites. The result is very close to the recent theoretical estimate pc≈0.7151 of Neher For the bond threshold on the Voronoi network, we find pc=0.666931±0.000005 implying that, for its dual, the Delaunay triangulation pc=0.333069±0.000005 . These results rule out the conjecture by Hsu and Huang that the bond thresholds are 2/3 and 1/3, respectively, but support the conjecture of Wierman that, for fully triangulated lattices other than the regular triangular lattice, the bond threshold is less than 2sinπ/18≈0.3473 .
