At a continuous transition into a nonunique absorbing state, particle systems may exhibit nonuniversal critical behavior, in apparent violation of hyperscaling. We propose a generalized scaling theory for dynamic critical behavior at a…

It is argued that self-duality of one system leads to the zero finite-size scaling amplitude of the critical internal energy for all system belonging to the same universality class. For such models, we may expect that condition of equality…
