Abstract
In this paper, we study inhomogeneous site percolation on an irregular Bethe lattice, for considering that percolation often occurs on irregular grids or lattices with variable site neighbours in real-world problems. The explicit expression for cluster-size distribution of this percolation is derived based on probability theory. Moreover, the exact formulas for critical occupation probability, mean cluster size, and percolation probability are obtained using generating function method and generalised recursive approach. In addition, sensitivity analysis and numerical simulation are given to deepen and illustrate the results.
