Abstract

A parallel algorithm for the enumeration of isolated connected clusters on a regular lattice is presented. The algorithm has been implemented on 17 RISC-based workstations to calculate the perimeter polynomials for the plane triangular lattice up to clustersizes=21. New data for perimeter polynomials Ds up toD 21, total number of clustersg s up tog 22, and coefficientsb r in the low-density series expansion of the mean cluster size up tob 21 are given.
