Phase transition of the one-dimensional coagulation-production process

Abstract

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
