This study uses the real space renormalization group (RSRG) method to analyze disordered reaction-diffusion systems. It provides exact, large-time results for particle density decay, spatial distributions, and persistence properties.

Area of Science:

  • Statistical Physics
  • Complex Systems
  • Nonlinear Dynamics

Background:

  • Reaction-diffusion systems are fundamental in various scientific fields.
  • Quenched disorder introduces significant complexity, often defying analytical solutions.
  • Understanding asymptotic behaviors and critical phenomena in these systems is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To apply the real space renormalization group (RSRG) method to a broad class of 1D disordered reaction-diffusion models.
  • To derive exact, large-time results for particle densities, spatial distributions, and persistence properties.
  • To analyze dynamical phase transitions and critical exponents in systems with multiple asymptotic states.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the real space renormalization group (RSRG) method for exact, large-time analysis.
