[Phys. Rev. E 61, 6330 (2000)] presented simulational results for the critical exponents of the two-species reaction-diffusion system A + B -> 2B and B -> A in dimension d = 1. In particular, the correlation length exponent was found as \\nu = 2.21(5) in contradiction to the exact relation \\nu = 2/d. In this Comment, the symmetry arguments leading to exact critical exponents for the universality class of this reaction-diffusion system are concisely reconsidered.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2000-07-24T14:18:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "two-species reaction-diffusion problem", "critical behavior", "two-species reaction-diffusion system", "correlation length exponent", "universality class" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
