In a recent study (Miller and Shnerb 2010 arXiv:1011.3254) the contact process with a modified creation rate at a single site was shown to exhibit a non-universal scaling behavior with exponents varying with the creation rate at the special site. In the present work we argue that the survival probability decays according to a stretched exponential rather than a power law, explaining previous observations.

Nonuniversal and anomalous critical behavior of the contact process near an extended defect.
• Physics

• 2018
We consider the contact process near an extended surface defect, where the local control parameter deviates from the bulk one by an amount of λ(l)-λ(∞)=Al^{-s}, with l being the distance from the
Threshold of coexistence and critical behavior of a predator-prey stochastic model in a fractal landscape
• Environmental Science

We investigate a stochastic lattice model describing a predator-prey system in a fractal scale-free landscape, mimicked by the fractal Sierpinski carpet. We determine the threshold of species

Quenched spatial disorder is found to make the phase transition of the contact process near a multiple junction of M semi-infinite chains continuous in agreement with earlier renormalization group results.

Contact process with a defect: universal oasis, nonuniversal scaling
• Physics

It is suggested that, in 1+1 dimensions, the critical exponent $\delta$ that controls the asymptotic power-law decay depends on the strength of the local perturbation, while in higher dimensions the defect seems to induce a transient behavior that decays algebraically in time.

We examine the effects of introducing a wall or edge into a directed percolation process. Scaling ansatze are presented for the density and survival probability of a cluster in these geometries, and

We review the critical behavior of nonequilibrium systems, such as directed percolation (DP) and branching-annihilating random walks (BARW), which possess phase transitions into absorbing states.

It is demonstrated that absorbing phase transitions in one dimension may be induced by the dynamics of a single site as the rate for offspring production at this site is varied, and the model exhibits a phase transition from a fluctuating active phase into an absorbing state.

Different versions of these models are studied and it is confirmed that, except for one exactly solvable bosonic variant exhibiting a discontinuous transition and trivial exponents, all the others display nontrivial behavior, with critical exponents differing from their mean-field values, representing a universality class.

We consider a non-equilibrium process on a timeline with discrete sites which evolves following a non-Markovian update rule in such a way that an active site at time t activates one or several sites
