Abstract

We study the very long-range bond-percolation problem on a linear chain with both sites and bonds dilution. Very long range means that the probability pijp_{ij} for a connection between two occupied sites i,ji,j at a distance rijr_{ij} decays as a power law, i.e. pij=ρ/[rijαN1α]p_{ij} = \rho/[r_{ij}^\alpha N^{1-\alpha}] when 0α<1 0 \le \alpha < 1, and pij=ρ/[rijln(N)]p_{ij} = \rho/[r_{ij} \ln(N)] when α=1\alpha = 1. Site dilution means that the occupancy probability of a site is 0<ps10 < p_s \le 1. The behavior of this model results from the competition between long-range connectivity, which enhances the percolation, and site dilution, which weakens percolation. The case α=0\alpha=0 with ps=1p_s =1 is well-known, being the exactly solvable mean-field model. The percolation order parameter PP_\infty is investigated numerically for different values of α\alpha, psp_s and ρ\rho. We show that in the ranges 0α1 0 \le \alpha \le 1 and 0<ps10 < p_s \le 1 the percolation order parameter PP_\infty depends only on the average connectivity γ\gamma of sites, which can be explicitly computed in terms of the three parameters α\alpha, psp_s and ρ\rho.
