Site and bond percolation on four-dimensional simple hypercubic lattices with extended neighborhoods

The asymptotic behavior of the percolation threshold $p_c$ and its dependence upon coordination number $z$ is investigated for both site and bond percolation on four-dimensional lattices with compact extended neighborhoods. Simple hypercubic lattices with neighborhoods up to 9th nearest neighbors are studied to high precision by means of Monte-Carlo simulations based upon a single-cluster growth algorithm. For site percolation, an asymptotic analysis confirms the predicted behavior $zp_c \sim 16 η_c = 2.086$ for large $z$, and finite-size corrections are accounted for by forms $p_c \sim 16 η_c/(z+b)$ and $p_c \sim 1- \exp(-16 η_c/z)$ where $η_c \approx 0.1304$ is the continuum percolation threshold of four-dimensional hyperspheres. For bond percolation, the finite-$z$ correction is found to be consistent with the prediction of Frei and Perkins, $zp_{c} - 1 \sim a_{1} (\ln z)/z$, although the behavior $zp_{c} - 1 \sim a_1 z^{-3/4}$ cannot be ruled out.
