In the absence of single-particle diffusion the model reduces to the pair-contact process, which has a phase transition in the universality class of Directed Percolation (DP) and an infinite number of absorbing steady states. When single-particle diffusion is added, the number of absorbing steady states is reduced to two and the model does not show DP critical behaviour anymore. The exponents $\\theta=\\nu_{\\|}/\\nu_{\\perp}$ and $\\beta/\\nu_{\\perp}$ are calculated numerically. The value of $\\beta/\\nu_{\\perp}$ is close to the value of the Parity Conserving universality class, in spite of the absence of local conservation laws.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2000-09-25T13:32:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "critical properties", "non-hermitian density matrix renormalization group", "absorbing steady states", "one-dimensional reaction-diffusion model 2a", "single-particle diffusion" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
