Abstract

The fixed-scale transformation approach to fractal growth is applied to the problem of directed percolation in two dimensions. We find, for the fractal dimension of transverse sections of the incipient infinite cluster, d(perpendicular-to) = 0.747, in very close agreement with the best series results which give d(perpendicular-to) = 0.748.
