Abstract

We develop a method of constructing percolation clusters that allows us to build very large clusters using very little computer memory by limiting the maximum number of sites for which we maintain state information to a number of the order of the number of sites in the largest chemical shell of the cluster being created. The memory required to grow a cluster of mass s is of the order of bytes where ranges from 0.4 for 2-dimensional lattices to 0.5 for 6- (or higher)-dimensional lattices. We use this method to estimate , the exponent relating the minimum path to the Euclidean distance r, for 4D and 5D hypercubic lattices. Analyzing both site and bond percolation, we find (4D) and (5D). In order to determine to high precision, and without bias, it was necessary to first find precise values for the percolation threshold, : (4D) and (5D) for site and (4D) and (5D) for bond percolation. We also calculate the Fisher exponent, , determined in the course of calculating the values of : (4D) and (5D).
