The two-dimensional site percolation problem is studied by transfer-matrix methods on finite-width strips with free boundary conditions. The relationship between correlation-length amplitudes and critical indices, predicted by conformal invariance, allows a very precise determination of the surface decay-of-correlations exponent, $\eta_s = 0.6664 \pm 0.0008$, consistent with the analytical value $\eta_s = 2/3$. It is found that a special transition does not occur in the case, corroborating…
