Abstract
Percolation theory is useful for characterizing many disordered systems. Percolation is a pure random process of choosing sites to be randomlyoccupied or empty with certain probabilities.However, the topology obtained in such processes has a rich structure related to fractals.The structural properties of percolation clusters have become clearer thanks to the development of fractal geometry since the 1980s.
