Abstract: Percolation model is a significant phase transition model. It is well acknowledged that  a continuous phase transition occurs in percolation. Recently, the so-called explosive percolation was introduced. Earlier numerical evidence showed that transition becomes discontinuous in explosive percolation. Later, more accurate numerical work and some other analysis confirmed that the transition in explosive percolation is still continuous. However, the critical behaviors have changed a lot from traditional percolation to explosive one.
