Abstract

We study site and bond percolation in simple directed random graphs with a given degree distribution. We derive the percolation threshold for the giant strongly connected component and the fraction of vertices in this component as a function of the percolation probability. The results are obtained for degree sequences in which the maximum degree may depend on the total number of nodes n, being asymptotically bounded by n 1/9.
