The phenomenological renormalization group method introduced by Barber (1983) for equilibrium spin models is extended to stochastic cellular automata exhibiting continuous phase transitions from a quiescent state to an active one.

Abstract
The phenomenological renormalization group method introduced by Barber (1983) for equilibrium spin models is extended to stochastic cellular automata exhibiting continuous phase transitions from a quiescent state to an active one. The method is applied to the Domany-Kinzel model (1984), which contains bond and site directed percolation in 1+1 dimensions as special cases. A new universality class with critical exponents close to, but definitely different from, the ones of directed percolation is predicted. Finite-size scaling analysis and Monte Carlo simulations provide further support to this result.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
