G. Leavitt} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 103, 113-130 (1962; Zbl 0112.02701)] and which give algebraic analogs of the graph \\(C^*\\)-algebras that have received much attention in operator algebra [e.g., see \\textit{I. Raeburn}, Graph algebras. CBMS Reg. Conf. Ser. Math. 103. Providence, RI: AMS (2005; Zbl 1079.46002)]. The basic datum is a countable directed graph \\(E\\) whose incidence matrix is row-finite, that is, each vertex emits at most finitely many arrows. Given a base field \\(K\\), the Leavitt path algebra \\(L_K(E)\\) is a quotient of the ordinary path algebra over \\(K\\) of the double of \\(E\\) (obtained by adjoining an arrow \\(\\alpha^*\\colon w\\to v\\) for each arrow \\(\\alpha\\colon v\\to w\\) in \\(E\\)), modulo so-called Cuntz-Krieger relations taken from the type of \\(C^*\\)-algebras introduced by Cuntz and Krieger [\\textit{J. Cuntz}, Invent. Math. 63, 25-40 (1981; Zbl 0461.46047)]. Specific (finite) choices for \\(E\\) yield the matrix algebras \\(M_n(K)\\), the Leavitt algebras of type \\((1,n)\\) (for which there is a universal isomorphism between the free modules of ranks \\(1\\) and \\(n\\)), and the algebraic Cuntz-Krieger algebras \\(\\mathcal{CK}_A(K)\\) introduced by \\textit{P. Ara, M. A. Gonz\u00e1lez-Barroso, E. Pardo} and the reviewer [J. Algebra 278, No. 1, 104-126 (2004; Zbl 1063.16033)]. The graph \\(C^*\\)-algebra \\(C^*(E)\\) may be obtained as the completion of \\(L_\\mathbb{C}(E)\\) with respect to a suitable norm.\\N\\N The main result of the paper characterizes when \\(L_K(E)\\) is simple, in terms of graph-theoretic conditions on \\(E\\) (independent of \\(K\\)). Interestingly, these are the same conditions that characterize simplicity of \\(C^*(E)\\) [\\textit{T. Bates, D. Pask, I. Raeburn} and \\textit{W. Szyma\u0144ski}, New York J. Math. 6, 307-324 (2000; Zbl 0976.46041)], but the proofs of the algebraic and \\(C^*\\) results require quite different techniques. In particular, the main theorem recovers simplicity of the Leavitt algebras of type \\((1,n)\\), and provides simplicity criteria for the algebras \\(\\mathcal{CK}_A(K)\\).\\N\\N Just as has been done for \\(C^*(E)\\), the authors later extend the construction of Leavitt path algebras to non-row-finite graphs [The Leavitt path algebras of arbitrary graphs, Houston J. Math. (to appear)]. Following the present work, a number of papers on the topic have appeared, of which we mention the following: [\\textit{G. Abrams} and \\textit{G. Aranda Pino}, J. Pure Appl.
