Metastability is a common obstacle to performing long molecular dynamics simulations. Many numerical methods have been proposed to overcome it. One method is parallel replica dynamics, which relies on the rapid convergence of the underlying…
We show that the reaction-diffusion process 3A -> 4A, 3A -> 2A exhibits a different type of continuous phase transition from an active into an absorbing phase. Because of the upper critical dimension d_c = 4/3 we expect the phase transition…

A hybrid phase transition (HPT) that exhibits properties of continuous and discontinuous phase transitions at the same transition point has been observed in diverse complex systems. Previous studies of the HPTs on complex networks mainly…
We introduce and study the mutating contact process, a variant of the multitype contact process, where one type mutates at a constant rate to the other type. We prove that on $\mathbb{Z}$ a single mutant cannot survive while on…
