Abstract

The phase transitions of the recently introduced 2A -> 3A, 4A -> 0 reaction-diffusion model (G.Odor, PRE 69 036112 (2004)) are explored in two dimensions. This model exhibits site occupation restriction and explicit diffusion of isolated particles. A reentrant phase diagram in the diffusion - creation rate space is confirmed in agreement with cluster mean-field and one-dimensional results. For strong diffusion a mean-field transition can be observed at zero branching rate characterized by α=1/3\alpha=1/3 density decay exponent. In contrast with this for weak diffusion the effective 2A ->3A->4A->0 reaction becomes relevant and the mean-field transition of the 2A -> 3A, 2A -> 0 model characterized by α=1/2\alpha=1/2 also appears for non-zero branching rates.
