Abstract

The steady-state phase diagram of the one-dimensional reaction-diffusion model 2A -> 3A, 2A -> 0 is studied through the non-hermitian density matrix renormalization group. In the absence of single-particle diffusion the model reduces to the pair-contact process, which has a phase transition in the universality class of Directed Percolation (DP) and an infinite number of absorbing steady states. When single-particle diffusion is added, the number of absorbing steady states is reduced to two and the model does not show DP critical behaviour anymore. The exponents and are calculated numerically. The value of is close to the value of the Parity Conserving universality class, in spite of the absence of local conservation laws.
