Abstract:
We studied the continuous phase transition between the active and the absorbing state of the Ziff-Gulari-Barshad (ZGB) model. Through Monte Carlo simulations we determined all the moments of the order parameter up to fourth order and their ratios at the critical point. We show that the ratios we found are in agreement with those of the contact and pair contact processes in two dimensions, which give support to the idea that the ZGB model is in the directed percolation universality class in (2+1) dimensions.

Critical Region, Critical Values and Significance Level
In hypothesis testing, a sample statistic is converted to a test statistic using z, t, or chi-square distribution. A critical region is an area under the curve in probability distributions demarcated by the critical value. When the test statistic falls in this region, it suggests that the null hypothesis must be rejected. As this region contains all those values of the test...
