Interplay of choice and topology in percolation on mediation-driven attachment networksWe investigate bond percolation on mediation-driven attachment (MDA) networks under the generalized Achlioptas process, where $M>1$ candidate bonds are sampled and the one that minimizes the resulting cluster size is selected the best-of-$M$ rule. This framework offers a systematic approach to investigate how network topology and choice mechanisms jointly shape percolation behavior. We analyze the effects of the degree exponent $ω$ and the choice parameter $M$ on the critical point $t_c$ and t…
