We investigate the influence of particle diffusion in the two-dimension contact process (CP) with a competitive dynamics in bipartite sublattices, proposed in [Phys. Rev. E 84, 011125 (2011)]. The particle creation depends on its first and…

We consider systems whose steady-states exhibit a nonequilibrium phase transition from an active state to one -among an infinite number- absorbing state, as some control parameter is varied across a threshold value. The pair contact…
A directed percolation process with two symmetric particle species exhibiting exclusion in one dimension is investigated numerically. It is shown that if the species are coupled by branching ($A\to AB$, $B\to BA$) a continuous phase…
We present quasi-stationary simulations of the two-dimensional contact process with quenched disorder included through the random dilution of a fraction of the lattice sites (these sites are not susceptible to infection). Our results…
The one-dimensional triplet contact process with diffusion (TCPD) model has been studied using fast multispin GPU Monte Carlo simulations. In particular, the particle density \rho and the density of pairs of neighboring particles \rho_p…
Unidirectionally coupled systems which exhibit phase transitions into an absorbing state are investigated at the multicritical point. We find that for initial conditions with isolated particles, each hierarchy level exhibits an…
A two-offspring branching annihilating random walk model, with finite reaction rates, is studied in one-dimension. The model exhibits a transition from an active to an absorbing phase, expected to belong to the $DP2$ universality class…
The restricted diffusive pair contact process 2A->3A, 2A->0 (PCPD) and the classification of its critical behavior continues to be a challenging open problem of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. Recently Kockelkoren and Chate [Phys.…

The dynamical relaxation and scaling properties of three different variants of the contact process in two spatial dimensions are analysed. Dynamical contact processes capture a variety of contagious processes such as the spreading of…
We demonstrate that the `microscopic' field theory representation, directly derived from the corresponding master equation, fails to adequately capture the continuous nonequilibrium phase transition of the Pair Contact Process with…
Recently there has been a debate concerning the universal properties of the phase transition in the pair contact process with diffusion (PCPD) $2A\to 3A, 2A\to \emptyset$. Although some of the critical exponents seem to coincide with those…
A hyperscaling relation for the critical exponents of absorbing phase transitions is tested in the bosonic pair contact process with diffusion. To this end spreading is considered, i.e. the time evolution out of an initial seed. It is shown…
It is known that diffusion provokes substantial changes in continuous absorbing phase transitions. Conversely, its effect on discontinuous transitions is much less understood. In order to shed light in this direction, we study the inclusion…
We investigate finite size scaling aspects of disorder reaction-diffusion processes in one dimension utilizing both numerical and analytical approaches. The former averages the spectrum gap of the associated evolution operators by doubling…
We study the two-dimensional contact process (CP) with quenched disorder (DCP), and determine the static critical exponents beta and nu_perp. The dynamic behavior is incompatible with scaling, as applied to models (such as the pure CP) that…
We consider the scaling behavior of directed percolation and of the pair contact process with a conjugated field. In particular we determine numerically the equation of state and show that both models are characterized by the same universal…
We study a two-species reaction-diffusion system with the reactions $A+A\to (0, A)$ and $A+B\to A$, with general diffusion constants $D_A$ and $D_B$. Previous studies showed that for dimensions $d\leq 2$ the $B$ particle density decays with…
