Phase transition of the one-dimensional coagulation-production process

Recently an exact solution has been found (M.Henkel and H.Hinrichsen, cond-mat/0010062) for the 1d coagulation production process: 2A ->A, A0A->3A with equal diffusion and coagulation rates. This model evolves into the inactive phase independently of the production rate with $t^{-1/2}$ density decay law. Here I show that cluster mean-field approximations and Monte Carlo simulations predict a continuous phase transition for higher diffusion/coagulation rates as considered in cond-mat/0010062. Numerical evidence is given that the phase transition universality agrees with that of the annihilation-fission model with low diffusions.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures include

The universal behavior of one-dimensional, multi-species branching and annihilating random walks with exclusion

A directed percolation process with two symmetric particle species exhibiting exclusion in one dimension is investigated numerically. It is shown that if the species are coupled by branching ($A\to AB$, $B\to BA$) a continuous phase transition will appear at zero branching rate limit belonging to the same universality class as that of the dynamical two-offspring (2-BARW2) model. This class persists even if the branching is biased towards one of the species. If the two systems are not coupled by branching but hard-core interaction is allowed only the transition will occur at finite branching rate belonging to the usual 1+1 dimensional directed percolation class.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figures include
