Precise critical exponents for the basic contact process

J Ricardo G de Mendonça

We calculated some of the critical exponents of the directed percolation universality class through exact numerical diagonalizations of the master operator of the one-dimensional basic contact process. Perusal of the power method together with finite-size scaling allowed us to achieve a high degree of accuracy in our estimates with relatively little computational effort. A simple reasoning leading to the appropriate choice of the microscopic time scale for time-dependent simulations of Markov chains within the so-called quantum chain formulation is discussed. Our approach is applicable to any stochastic process with a finite number of absorbing states.

Finite-size scaling of directed percolation in the steady state

Hans-Karl Janssen, S. Lübeck, Olaf Stenull

Recently, considerable progress has been made in understanding finite-size scaling in equilibrium systems. Here, we study finite-size scaling in nonequilibrium systems at the instance of directed percolation (DP), which has become the paradigm of nonequilibrium phase transitions into absorbing states, above, at, and below the upper critical dimension. We investigate the finite-size scaling behavior of DP analytically and numerically by considering its steady state generated by a homogeneous constant external source on a d-dimensional hypercube of finite edge length L with periodic boundary conditions near the bulk critical point. In particular, we study the order parameter and its higher moments using renormalized field theory. We derive finite-size scaling forms of the moments in a one-loop calculation. Moreover, we introduce and calculate a ratio of the order parameter moments that plays a similar role in the analysis of finite size scaling in absorbing nonequilibrium processes as the famous Binder cumulant in equilibrium systems and that, in particular, provides a signature of the DP universality class. To complement our analytical work, we perform Monte Carlo simulations which confirm our analytical results.
