Directed percolation in a two dimensional stochastic fire-diffuse-fire model (2004)
Journal Article
Timofeeva, Y., & Coombes, S. (2004). Directed percolation in a two dimensional stochastic fire-diffuse-fire model

In this paper we establish, from extensive numerical experiments, that the two dimensional stochastic fire-diffuse-fire model belongs to the directed percolation universality class. This model is an idealized model of intracellular calcium release th... Read More about Directed percolation in a two dimensional stochastic fire-diffuse-fire model.
