Abstract

The characteristics of directed random walks on directed percolation clusters are numerically studied. For two-dimensional clusters grown at the critical probability [Formula presented] it is shown that the distance d of the directed random walkers from their most probable end point is determined by a probability distribution [Formula presented] where the values of w and [Formula presented] are close to the values of the known exponents: [Formula presented] and [Formula presented] This probability distribution is independent of the cluster’s length t up to d values comparable to the cluster’s width [Formula presented] The results are shown to be consistent with a tree description of the directed percolation clusters.
