Dynamical universality of the contact process

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The dynamical relaxation and scaling properties of three different variants of the contact process in two spatial dimensions are analysed. Dynamical contact processes capture a variety of contagious processes such as the spreading of diseases or opinions. The universality of both local and global two-time correlators of the particle-density and the associated linear responses are tested through several scaling relations of the non-equilibrium exponents and the shape of the associated scaling functions. In addition, the dynamical scaling of two-time global correlators can be used as a tool to improve on the determination of the location of critical points.
