| Popis: | We analyze random resistor networks through a study of lattice Green's functions in arbitrary dimensions. We develop a systematic disorder perturbation expansion to describe the weak disorder regime of such a system. We use this formulation to compute ensemble averaged nodal voltages and bond currents in a hierarchical fashion. We verify the validity of this expansion with direct numerical simulations of a square lattice with resistances at each bond exponentially distributed. Additionally, we construct a formalism to recursively obtain the exact Green's functions for finitely many disordered bonds. We provide explicit expressions for lattices with up to four disordered bonds, which can be used to predict nodal voltage distributions for arbitrarily large disorder strengths. Finally, we introduce a novel order parameter that measures the overlap between the bond current and the optimal path (the path of least resistance), for a given resistance configuration, which helps to characterize the weak and strong disorder regimes of the system.
