The problem of long-range percolation in one dimension is proposed. The authors consider a one-dimensional bond percolation system with bonds connecting an infinite number of neighbours where the occupation probability for the nth nearest-neighbour bond pn varies as p1/ns. Using the transfer-matrix method, they find that when s>2 only the short-range percolation exists; namely the system percolates only when p1=1. A transition to long-range percolation is found at s=2 where the percolation threshold drops suddenly from the short-range value p1c=1 to the long-range value p1c=0.
