Abstract

We investigated the phase transition behavior of a binary spreading process in two dimensions for different particle diffusion strengths (). We found that cluster mean-field approximations must be considered to get consistent singular behavior. The approximations result in a continuous phase transition belonging to a single universality class along the phase transition line. Large scale simulations of the particle density confirmed mean-field scaling behavior with logarithmic corrections. This is interpreted as numerical evidence supporting that the upper critical dimension in this model is .The pair density scales in a similar way but with an additional logarithmic factor to the order parameter. At the D=0 endpoint of the transition line we found DP criticality.
