Abstract
This Note deals with a new approach to the percolation threshold in ra ndom two-phase media. This transition has been linked with the topolog ical evolution of random structures simulated in 2D or 3D space. A coi ncidence has been observed between the percolation threshold appearing in a space of dimension n and the extrema of the Euler-Poincare' char acteristic measured in the n - 1 dimensional space.
