A supercritical series analysis for the generalized contact process with diffusion
We study a model that generalizes the CP with diffusion. An additional
transition is included in the model so that at a particular point of its phase
diagram a crossover from the directed percolation to the compact directed
percolation class will happen. We are particularly interested in the effect of
diffusion on the properties of the crossover between the universality classes.
To address this point, we develop a supercritical series expansion for the
ultimate survival probability and analyse this series using d-log Pad\'e and
partial differential approximants. We also obtain approximate solutions in the
one- and two-site dynamical mean-field approximations. We find evidences that,
at variance to what happens in mean-field approximations, the crossover
exponent remains close to even for quite high diffusion rates, and
therefore the critical line in the neighborhood of the multicritical point
apparently does not reproduce the mean-field result (which leads to )
as the diffusion rate grows without bound
