X Abstract

We present detailed simulations of a generalization of the Domany-Kinzel model to 2+1 dimensions. It has two control parameters, p and q, which describe the probabilities Pk of a site to be wetted, if exactly k of its 'upstream' neighbours are already wetted. If Pk depends only weakly on k, the active/adsorbed phase transition is in the directed percolation (DP) universality class. If, however, Pk increases quickly with k so that the formation of inactive holes surrounded by active sites is suppressed, the transition is first order. These two transition lines meet at a tricritical point. This point should be in the same universality class as a tricritical transition in the contact process studied recently by Lubeck. Critical exponents for it have been calculated previously by means of the field-theoretic epsilon-expansion ([?] = 3 [?] d, with d = 2 in the present case). Rather poor agreement is found with both.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
