Abstract

Recently, Takayasu and Tretyakov [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 68}, 3060 (1992)], studied branching annihilating random walks (BAW) with -5 offspring. These models exhibit a continuous phase transition to an absorbing state. For odd the models belong to the universality class of directed percolation. For even the particle number is conserved modulo 2 and the critical behavior is not compatible with directed percolation. In this article I study the BAW with using time-dependent simulations and finite-size scaling obtaining precise estimates for various critical exponents. The results are consistent with the conjecture: $β/\nuh = {1/2}$, $\nuv/\nuh = {7/4}$, , , , , and .
