Phys. Rev. E 78, 031131 (2008) [11 pages]Pseudo-random-number generators and the square site percolation thresholdReceived 3 July 2008; published 25 September 2008 Selected pseudo-random-number generators are applied to a Monte Carlo study of the two-dimensional square-lattice site percolation model. A generator suitable for high precision calculations is identified from an application specific test of randomness. After extended computation and analysis, an ostensibly reliable value of pc=0.592 745 98(4) is obtained for the percolation threshold. © 2008 The American Physical Society URL:
