Abstract: We consider a modification of the contact process incorporating higher-order reaction terms. The original contact process exhibits a non-equilibrium phase transition belonging to the universality class of directed percolation. The incorporated higher-order reaction terms lead to a non-trivial phase diagram. In particular, a line of continuous phase transitions is separated by a tricritical point from a line of discontinuous phase transitions. The corresponding tricritical scaling behavior is analyzed in detail, i.e., we determine the critical exponents, various universal scaling functions as well as universal amplitude combinations.

Review text

A modification of the well established contact process is considered in order to study the process of tricritical directed percolation. Taking pair reactions into account the modified process exhibits a nontrivial phase diagram containing a tricritical point separating a line of second order phase transitions from a line of first order phase transitions. The transition along the second order line belongs to the universality class of directed percolation. Performing a scaling analysis the tricritical point is determined with high accuracy, that allows a detailed analysis of the triclinical scaling behaviour within steady state together with determination of tricritical exponents, universal scaling functions and universal amplitude reactions.
