Simulations and integral-equation theory were applied to the problem of connectedness on a layer of sequentially quenched particles. The deposition algorithm is a particular limit of an irreversible adsorption in which slowly added particles are allowed to equilibrate one at a time. The theory for this essentially polydisperse system was simplified by treating it as a quenched-annealed quasi-binary mixture. An approximation to a three-body connectedness function is needed, in addition to a closure for the Ornstein-Zernike equation.
