Abstract

The substitution method is used to show that the percolative behaviour of the triangular and hexagonal lattices bond percolation models are similar near their critical probabilities. As a consequence, if the limits defining the critical exponents β and γ exist, these lattices have the same values of β and γ. Similarly, the method also shows equality of the β and γ values for bond percolation models on the bowtie lattice and its dual.
