Abstract

This paper presents three results concerning the critical exponents which characterize the conduction threshold of a resistor lattice. (a) There are no rigorous inequalities similar to those for the phase-transition critical exponents. (b) There is a dual transformation in two dimensions which relates the critical exponents: in particular s=t, u=12 for the two-dimensional bond problem. (c) The exponents for the two- and three-dimensional bond and site problems are estimated by numerically solving for the voltage distributions of large finite disordered lattices. The results are in agreement with the "scaling" exponent relationship.
