Bootstrap percolation was first used in statistic physics to study the phenomenon that magnetic-order goes down and disappears because of the disturbance of nonmagnetic impurity. With the development of complex network, the application of bootstrap percolation in network has attracted much attention. In the real world, many systems naturally exhibit the two-branch structure. And bipartite network is one of important networks in complex networks. In this paper, we use the dynamics equation and computational simulation to study the bootstrap percolation in bipartite networks. The parameters we focus on are the node initial active ratios f1 and f2 and active thresholds Ω1, and Ω2. We draw the conclusion that the ratio of active nodes has discontinuous transition, which will gradually disappear with parameters varying. We also prove the consistency between the dynamic equation and simulation results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
