Abstract
We propose and study a method that self-consistently solves for the cu rrent and voltage distributions in random fuse network problems using lattice Green's functions. The method solves for the current distribut ion by only keeping track of the defect bonds and can treat networks w ith two extreme types of defects: insulating bonds and superconducting bonds. We apply this method to study the breakdown features of a simp le two-dimensional superconductor-resistor-insulator network.
