Nonequilibrium phase transitions are characterized by the so-called critical exponents, each of which is related to a different observable. Systems that share the same set of values for these exponents also share the same universality…

The phase diagram of a system with two order parameters, with ${\it n_1}$ and $n_2$ components, respectively, contains two phases, in which these order parameters are non-zero. Experimentally and numerically, these phases are often…
