Proposing new percolation model with an indirect influence mechanism – the induced percolation

Percolation is one of the important research directions of statistical physics. Over the past 20 years, scientists have continuously used percolation models to study propagation problems in complex networked systems. Almost all percolation theories focus on modeling influence mechanisms between direct neighbors to the best of our knowledge. However, growing evidence in social and ecological systems suggests that indirect influence is pervasive in the dynamical behaviors of the system.
