title: Tricritical point in explosive percolation.
abstract: The suitable interpolation between classical percolation and a special variant of explosive percolation enables the explicit realization of a tricritical percolation point. With high-precision simulations of the order parameter and the second moment of the cluster size distribution a fully consistent tricritical scaling scenario emerges yielding the tricritical crossover exponent 1/φ(t)=1.8 ± 0.1.
