Anomalous Binder Cumulant and Lack of Self-Averageness in Systems with Quenched Disorder

The Binder cumulant (BC) has been widely used for locating the phase transition point accurately in systems with thermal noise. In systems with quenched disorder, the BC may show subtle finite-size effects due to large sample-to-sample fluctuations. We study the globally coupled Kuramoto model of interacting limit-cycle oscillators with random natural frequencies and find an anomalous dip in the BC near the transition. We show that the dip is related to non-self-averageness of the order parameter at the transition. Alternative definitions of the BC, which do not show any anomalous behavior regardless of the existence of non-self-averageness, are proposed.

Equivalence of operator-splitting schemes for the integration of the Langevin equation

We investigate the equivalence of different operator-splitting schemes for the integration of the Langevin equation. We consider a specific problem, so called the directed percolation process, which can be extended to a wider class of problems. We first give a compact mathematical description of the operator-splitting method and introduce two typical splitting schemes that will be useful in numerical studies. We show that the two schemes are essentially equivalent through the map that turns out to be an automorphism. An associated equivalent class of operator-splitting integrations is also defined by generalizing the specified equivalence.

Crossover from the pair contact process with diffusion to directed percolation

Crossover behaviors from the pair contact process with diffusion (PCPD) and the driven PCPD (DPCPD) to the directed percolation (DP) are studied in one dimension by introducing a single particle annihilation/branching dynamics. The crossover exponents $ϕ$ are estimated numerically as $1/ϕ\simeq 0.58\pm0.03$ for the PCPD and $1/ϕ\simeq 0.49 \pm 0.02$ for the DPCPD. Nontriviality of the PCPD crossover exponent strongly supports non-DP nature of the PCPD critical scaling, which is further evidenced by the anomalous critical amplitude scaling near the PCPD point. In addition, we find that the DPCPD crossover is consistent with the mean field prediction of the tricritical DP class as expected.

Generating Function for Particle-Number Probability Distribution in Directed Percolation

We derive a generic expression for the generating function (GF) of the particle-number probability distribution (PNPD) for a simple reaction diffusion model that belongs to the directed percolation universality class. Starting with a single particle on a lattice, we show that the GF of the PNPD can be written as an infinite series of cumulants taken at zero momentum. This series can be summed up into a complete form at the level of a mean-field approximation. Using the renormalization group techniques, we determine logarithmic corrections for the GF at the upper critical dimension. We also find the critical scaling form for the PNPD and check its universality numerically in one dimension. The critical scaling function is found to be universal up to two non-universal metric factors.

Driven Pair Contact Process with Diffusion

The pair contact process with diffusion (PCPD) has been recently investigated extensively, but its critical behavior is not yet clearly established. By introducing biased diffusion, we show that the external driving is relevant and the driven PCPD exhibits a mean-field-type critical behavior even in one dimension. In systems which can be described by a single-species bosonic field theory, the Galilean invariance guarantees that the driving is irrelevant. The well-established directed percolation (DP) and parity conserving (PC) classes are such examples. This leads us to conclude that the PCPD universality class should be distinct from the DP or PC class. Moreover, it implies that the PCPD is generically a multi-species model and a field theory of two species is suitable for proper description.

Cluster mean-field approximations with the coherent-anomaly-method analysis for the driven pair contact process with diffusion

The cluster mean-field approximations are performed, up to 13 cluster sizes, to study the critical behavior of the driven pair contact process with diffusion (DPCPD) and its precedent, the PCPD in one dimension. Critical points are estimated by extrapolating our data to the infinite cluster size limit, which are in good accordance with recent simulation results. Within the cluster mean-field approximation scheme, the PCPD and the DPCPD share the same mean-field critical behavior. The application of the coherent anomaly method, however, shows that the two models develop different coherent anomalies, which lead to different true critical scaling. The values of the critical exponents for the particle density, the pair density, the correlation length, and the relaxation time are fairly well estimated for the DPCPD. These results support and complement our recent simulation results for the DPCPD.

Asymmetrically coupled directed percolation systems

We introduce a dynamical model of coupled directed percolation systems with two particle species. The two species $A$ and $B$ are coupled asymmetrically in that $A$ particles branch $B$ particles whereas $B$ particles prey on $A$ particles. This model may describe epidemic spreading controlled by reactive immunization agents. We study nonequilibrium phase transitions with focused attention to the multicritical point where both species undergo the absorbing phase transition simultaneously. In one dimension, we find that the inhibitory coupling from $B$ to $A$ is irrelevant and the model belongs to the unidirectionally coupled directed percolation universality class. On the contrary, a mean field analysis predicts that the inhibitory coupling is relevant and a new universality appears with a variable dynamic exponent. Extensive numerical simulations on small-world networks confirm our predictions.

Slow relaxation in the Ising model on a small-world network with strong long-range interactions

We consider the Ising model on a small-world network, where the long-range interaction strength $J_2$ is in general different from the local interaction strength $J_1$, and examine its relaxation behaviors as well as phase transitions. As $J_2/J_1$ is raised from zero, the critical temperature also increases, manifesting contributions of long-range interactions to ordering. However, it becomes saturated eventually at large values of $J_2/J_1$ and the system is found to display very slow relaxation, revealing that ordering dynamics is inhibited rather than facilitated by strong long-range interactions. To circumvent this problem, we propose a modified updating algorithm in Monte Carlo simulations, assisting the system to reach equilibrium quickly.

Collective synchronization in spatially extended systems of coupled oscillators with random frequencies

We study collective behavior of locally coupled limit-cycle oscillators with random intrinsic frequencies, spatially extended over $d$-dimensional hypercubic lattices. Phase synchronization as well as frequency entrainment are explored analytically in the linear (strong-coupling) regime and numerically in the nonlinear (weak-coupling) regime. Our analysis shows that the oscillator phases are always desynchronized up to $d=4$, which implies the lower critical dimension $d_{l}^{P}=4$ for phase synchronization. On the other hand, the oscillators behave collectively in frequency (phase velocity) even in three dimensions ($d=3$), indicating that the lower critical dimension for frequency entrainment is $d_{l}^{F}=2$. Nonlinear effects due to periodic nature of limit-cycle oscillators are found to become significant in the weak-coupling regime: So-called {\em runaway oscillators} destroy the synchronized (ordered) phase and there emerges a fully random (disordered) phase. Critical behavior near the synchronization transition into the fully random phase is unveiled via numerical investigation. Collective behavior of globally-coupled oscillators is also examined and compared with that of locally coupled oscillators.

Factors that predict better synchronizability on complex networks

While shorter characteristic path length has in general been believed to enhance synchronizability of a coupled oscillator system on a complex network,the suppressing tendency of the heterogeneity of the degree distribution, even for shorter characteristic path length, has also been reported. To see this, we investigate the effects of various factors such as the degree, characteristic path length, heterogeneity, and betweenness centrality on synchronization, and find a consistent trend between the synchronization and the betweenness centrality. The betweenness centrality is thus proposed as a good indicator for synchronizability.

Stability of vacuum in coupled directed percolation processes

We study the absorbing phase transitions in coupled directed percolation (DP) processes with $N$-species particles in one dimension. The interspecies coupling is linear, bidirectional, and excitatory. We find that the presence of a spontaneous annihilation process $A\to 0$ is essential in stabilizing the absorbing phase (vacuum). In the coupled contact processes, the vacuum is stable and the system exhibits DP type transitions, regardless of the coupling strength, for all $N$. However, in the coupled branching annihilation random walks with one offspring (BAW), where particle annihilations occur only through binary diffusion processes $A+A\to 0$, the vacuum becomes unstable with respect to an arbitrarily small branching rate in a sufficiently strong coupling regime for $N\ge 3$. The N=2 BAW exhibits the DP type transition for any coupling strength, but the inclusion of interspecies hard core (HC) interaction makes the vacuum unstable again and the system is always active in a strong coupling regime. Critical behavior near the zero branching point is characterized by the scaling exponents, $β=ν_{\bot}=1/2$ and $ν_{||}=1$, regardless of the presence of HC interaction. We also discuss the effects of the asymmetric coupling.

Collective phase synchronization in locally-coupled limit-cycle oscillators

We study collective behavior of locally-coupled limit-cycle oscillators with scattered intrinsic frequencies on $d$-dimensional lattices. A linear analysis shows that the system should be always desynchronized up to $d=4$. On the other hand, numerical investigation for $d= 5$ and 6 reveals the emergence of the synchronized (ordered) phase via a continuous transition from the fully random desynchronized phase. This demonstrates that the lower critical dimension for the phase synchronization in this system is $d_{l}=4$

General self-flattening surfaces

Recently Jeong and Kim [Phys. Rev. E {\bf 66}, 051605 (2002)] investigated the scaling properties of equilibrium self-flattening surfaces subject to a restricted curvature constraint. In one dimension (1D), they found numerically that the stationary roughness exponent $α\approx 0.561$ and the window exponent $δ\approx 0.423$. We present an analytic argument for general self-flattening surfaces in $D$ dimensions, leading to $α=Dα_0 /(D+α_0)$ and $δ=D/(D+α_0)$ where $α_0$ is the roughness exponent for equilibrium surfaces without the self-flattening mechanism. In case of surfaces subject to a restricted curvature constraint, it is known exactly that $α_0=3/2$ in 1D, which leads to $α=3/5$ and $δ=2/5$. Small discrepancies between our analytic values and their numerical values may be attributed to finite size effects.

Novel universality class of absorbing transitions with continuously varying critical exponents

The well-established universality classes of absorbing critical phenomena are directed percolation (DP) and directed Ising (DI) classes. Recently, the pair contact process with diffusion (PCPD) has been investigated extensively and claimed to exhibit a new type of critical phenomena distinct from both DP and DI classes. Noticing that the PCPD possesses a long-term memory effect, we introduce a generalized version of the PCPD (GPCPD) with a parameter controlling the memory effect. The GPCPD connects the DP fixed point to the PCPD point continuously. Monte Carlo simulations show that the GPCPD displays novel type critical phenomena which are characterized by continuously varying critical exponents. The same critical behaviors are also observed in models where two species of particles are coupled cyclically. We suggest that the long-term memory may serve as a marginal perturbation to the ordinary DP fixed point.

Fluctuations of self-flattening surfaces

We study the scaling properties of self-flattening surfaces under global suppression on surface fluctuations. Evolution of self-flattening surfaces is described by restricted solid-on-solid type monomer deposition-evaporation model with reduced deposition (evaporation) at the globally highest (lowest) site. We find numerically that equilibrium surface fluctuations are anomalous with roughness exponent $α\simeq 1/3$ and dynamic exponent $z_W \simeq 3/2$ in one dimension (1D) and $α=0 (\log)$ and $z_W \simeq 5/2$ in 2D. Stationary roughness can be understood analytically by relating our model to the static self-attracting random walk model and the dissociative dimer type deposition-evaporation model. In case of nonequilibrium growing/eroding surfaces, self-flattening dynamics turns out to be irrelevant and the normal Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality is recovered in all dimensions.

Dynamical surface structures in multi-particle-correlated surface growths

We investigate the scaling properties of the interface fluctuation width for the $Q$-mer and $Q$-particle-correlated deposition-evaporation models. These models are constrained with a global conservation law that the particle number at each height is conserved modulo $Q$. In equilibrium, the stationary roughness is anomalous but universal with roughness exponent $α=1/3$, while the early time evolution shows nonuniversal behavior with growth exponent $β$ varying with models and $Q$. Nonequilibrium surfaces display diverse growing/stationary behavior. The $Q$-mer model shows a faceted structure, while the $Q$-particle-correlated model a macroscopically grooved structure.

Anomalous Roughness, Localization, and Globally Constrained Random Walks

The scaling properties of a random walker subject to the global constraint that it needs to visit each site an even number of times are determined. Such walks are realized in the equilibrium state of one dimensional surfaces that are subject to dissociative dimer-type surface dynamics. Moreover, they can be mapped onto unconstrained random walks on a random surface, and the latter corresponds to a non-Hermitian random free fermion model which describes electron localization near a band edge. We show analytically that the dynamic exponent of this random walk is $z=d+2$ in spatial dimension $d$. This explains the anomalous roughness, with exponent $α=1/3$, in one dimensional equilibrium surfaces with dissociative dimer-type dynamics.

Two-species branching annihilating random walks with one offspring

We study the effects of hard core (HC) interactions between different species of particles on two-species branching annihilating random walks with one offspring(BAW$_2$(1)). The single-species model belongs to the directed percolation (DP) universality class. In the BAW$_2$(1) model, a particle creates one particle of the same species in its neighborhood with the probability $σ(1-p)$ and of the different species with $(1-σ)(1-p)$, where $p$ is the hopping probability. Without HC interactions, this model always exhibits the DP-type absorbing transition for all $σ$. Even with HC interactions, the nature of the phase transitions does not change except near $σ=0$, where the HC interaction destabilizes and completely wipes away the absorbing phase. The model is always active except at the annihilation fixed point of zero branching rate ($p=1$). Critical behavior near the annihilation fixed point is characterized by exponents $β= ν_\perp =1/2$ and $ν_{||} = 1$.
