The evolution of connectivity fundamentally underlies the function of many networked systems, with particular impact in social and economic networks. Standard percolation models describe how globally connected structures emerge when new local connections are formed based on random processes. In most social and economic systems, however, connections are established deliberately by the individuals in the network and are thus inherently not random. Here, we study network percolation for links established on the basis of economic decisions. We show that the underlying, global optimization problems can be mapped exactly to a local percolation problem that allows an efficient solutions. This new class of non-random percolation processes exhibits parametric changes from continuous to discontinuous features akin to explosive percolation transitions as well as hysteresis precisely because link addition is not random but directly driven by optimization.
