Abstract: We investigate the percolation on sites visited by random walks with fixed step lengths in a simple cubic lattice, where the random walker moves in continuous space. Using the Newman–Ziff algorithm combined with finite-size scaling analysis, we calculate the percolation threshold and critical exponents ν, β, and γ for various step lengths. Our results reveal that the values of these exponents depend on the step length l. Specifically, for 2≤l≤3, the critical exponents align with those of the percolation models based on discrete random walks in three dimensions, and gradually transform to the values of the ordinary three-dimensional site percolation as l increases. We analyze that these changes occur because the correlation function varies with the step length l. Moreover, we confirm that the hyperscaling relation νd=2β+γ is valid, despite the variation in the critical exponents.
