The functional RG for the random field and random anisotropy O(N) sigma-models is studied to two loop. The ferromagnetic/disordered (F/D) transition fixed point is found to next order in d=4+epsilon for N > N_c (N_c=2.8347408 for random…
It is shown that the universal critical properties of two recently introduced coupled directed percolation processes can be described by a single rapidity reversal invariant stochastic reaction-diffusion model. It is demonstrated that all…
We study the effect of fractal initial conditions in closed reactive systems in the cases of both mobile and immobile reactants. For the reaction $A+A\to A$, in the absence of diffusion, the mean number of particles $A$ is shown to decay…
Diffusion-coagulation can be simply described by a dynamic where particles perform a random walk on a lattice and coalesce with probability unity when meeting on the same site. Such processes display non-equilibrium properties with strong…
Models of reaction diffusion processes usually employ discrete lattice models with particles interacting at the same site, resulting in localized reactions in the continuum limit. Here, various non-local interactions are considered, and two…
We study the behavior of scale-free networks, having connectivity distribution P(k) k^-a, close to the percolation threshold. We show that for networks with 3<a<4, known to undergo a transition at a finite threshold of dilution, the…
In a recent work, Dantas and Stilck studied a model that generalizes the contact process model with diffusion. Our approach, based on the supercritical expansion, showed that for a weak diffusion regime the crossover exponent between the…
We investigate with the help of analytical and numerical methods the reaction A+A->A on a one-dimensional lattice opened at one end and with an input of particles at the other end. We show that if the diffusion rates to the left and to the…
We study a model that generalizes the CP with diffusion. An additional transition is included in the model so that at a particular point of its phase diagram a crossover from the directed percolation to the compact directed percolation…
Text-book concepts of diffusion- versus kinetic-control are well-defined for reaction-kinetics involving macroscopic concentrations of diffusive reactants that are adequately described by rate-constants -- the inverse of the…
We study diffusion-limited coalescence, A+A<-->A$, in one dimension, and derive an exact solution for the steady state in the presence of a trap. Without the trap, the system arrives at an equilibrium state which satisfies detailed balance,…
In all local low-dimensional models, scaling at critical points deviates from mean field behavior -- with one possible exception. This exceptional model with ``ordinary" behavior is an inherently non-equilibrium model studied some time ago…
The diffusion-controlled reaction $kA\rightarrow\emptyset$ is known to be strongly dependent on fluctuations in dimensions $d\le d_c=2/(k-1)$. We develop a field theoretic renormalization group approach to this system which allows explicit…
Recently Carlon et. al. investigated the critical behavior of the pair contact process with diffusion [cond-mat/9912347]. Using density matrix renormalization group methods, they estimate the critical exponents, raising the possibility that…
In this work we study the one-dimensional contact process with diffusion using two different approaches to research the critical properties of this model: the supercritical series expansions and finite-size exact solutions. With special…
We discuss a reaction-diffusion model in one dimension subjected to an external driving force. Each lattice site may be occupied by at most one particle. The particles hop with asymmetric rates (the sum of which is one) to the right or left…
We study random XY and (dimerized) XX spin-1/2 quantum spin chains at their quantum phase transition driven by the anisotropy and dimerization, respectively. Using exact expressions for magnetization, correlation functions and energy gap,…
We develop an analytical diffusion-equation-type approximation scheme for the one-dimensional coagulation reaction A+A->A with partial reaction probability on particle encounters which are otherwise hard-core. The new approximation…
Motivated by the diffusion-reaction kinetics on interstellar dust grains, we study a first-passage problem of mortal random walkers in a confined two-dimensional geometry. We provide an exact expression for the encounter probability of two…
Reaction-diffusion equations deliver a versatile tool for the description of reactions in inhomogeneous systems under the assumption that the characteristic reaction scales and the scales of the inhomogeneities in the reactant…
