RESUMO
We study the dynamics of the branching and annihilating process with long-range interactions. Static particles generate an offspring and annihilate upon contact. The branching distance is supposed to follow a Lévy-like power-law distribution with P(r)â1/r^{α}. We analyze the long term behavior of the mean particles number and its fluctuations as a function of the parameter α that controls the range of the branching process. We show that the dynamic exponent associated with the particle number fluctuations varies continuously for α<4 while the particle number exponent only changes for α<3. A crossover from extreme value Frechet (at α=3) and Gumbell (for 2<α<3) distributions is developed, similar to the one reported in recent experiments with cw-pumped random fiber lasers presenting underlying gain and Lévy processes. We report the dependence of the relevant dynamical power-law exponents on α showing that explosive growth takes place for α≤2. Further, the average occupation number distribution is shown to evolve from the standard Fermi-Dirac form to the generalized one within the context of nonextensive statistics.
RESUMO
We investigate the critical behavior of a stochastic lattice model describing a contact process in the Sierpinski carpet with fractal dimension d=log8/log3. We determine the threshold of the absorbing phase transition related to the transition between a statistically stationary active and the absorbing states. Finite-size scaling analysis is used to calculate the order parameter, order parameter fluctuations, correlation length, and their critical exponents. We report that all static critical exponents interpolate between the line of the regular Euclidean lattices values and are consistent with the hyperscaling relation. However, a short-time dynamics scaling analysis shows that the dynamical critical exponent Z governing the size dependence of the critical relaxation time is found to be larger then the literature values in Euclidean d=1 and d=2, suggesting a slower critical relaxation in scale-free lattices.
RESUMO
We study the critical short-time dynamical behavior of a one-dimensional model where diffusive individuals can infect a static population upon contact. The model presents an absorbing phase transition from an active to an inactive state. Previous calculations of the critical exponents based on quasistationary quantities have indicated an unusual crossover from the directed percolation to the diffusive contact process universality classes. Here we show that the critical exponents governing the slow short-time dynamic evolution of several relevant quantities, including the order parameter, its relative fluctuations, and correlation function, reinforce the lack of universality in this model. Accurate estimates show that the critical exponents are distinct in the regimes of low and high recovery rates.

We study the dynamics of one electron wave packet in a chain with a nonadiabatic electron-phonon interaction. The electron-phonon coupling is taken into account in the time-dependent Schrödinger equation by a delayed cubic nonlinearity. In the limit of an adiabatic coupling, the self-trapping phenomenon occurs when the nonlinearity parameter exceeds a critical value of the order of the bandwidth. We show that a weaker nonlinearity is required to produce self-trapping in the regime of short delay times. However, this trend is reversed for slow nonlinear responses, resulting in a reentrant phase diagram. In slowly responding media, self-trapping only takes place for very strong nonlinearities.
RESUMO
In this work, we study the critical behavior of a one-dimensional model that mimics the propagation of an epidemic process mediated by a density of diffusive individuals which can infect a static population upon contact. We simulate the above model on linear chains to determine the critical density of the diffusive population, above which the system achieves a statistically stationary active state, as a function of two relevant parameters related to the average lifetimes of the diffusive and nondiffusive populations. A finite-size scaling analysis is employed to determine the order parameter and correlation length critical exponents. For high-recovery rates, the critical exponents are compatible with the usual directed percolation universality class. However, in the opposite regime of low-recovery rates, the diffusion is a relevant mechanism responsible for the propagation of the disease and the absorbing state phase transition is governed by a distinct set of critical exponents.
