We present a new model for coupled directed percolation systems with two species, A and B, mimicking epidemic spread and immunization. The study explores phase transitions, finding the inhibitory coupling is irrelevant in 1D but relevant in mean-field analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Statistical Physics
  • Complex Systems
  • Dynamical Systems

Background:

  • Directed percolation models are crucial for understanding phase transitions in systems with quenched disorder.
  • Coupled systems offer richer dynamics, relevant for phenomena like epidemic spreading.
  • Absorbing phase transitions are fundamental in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Introduce a novel dynamical model of coupled directed percolation with asymmetric interactions between two species.
  • Investigate the nonequilibrium phase transitions, particularly the multicritical point.
  • Analyze the role of inhibitory coupling in determining universality classes.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a dynamical model with two particle species (A and B) exhibiting asymmetric coupling (A branches B, B preys on A).

Related Experiment Videos

  • Theoretical analysis using mean-field approximations.
  • Numerical simulations conducted on small-world networks.

    • Main Results:

    • In one dimension, the inhibitory coupling from B to A was found to be irrelevant, classifying the model within the unidirectionally coupled directed percolation universality class.
    • Mean-field analysis predicted the inhibitory coupling to be relevant, leading to a new universality class with a variable dynamic exponent.
    • Numerical simulations on small-world networks corroborated the theoretical predictions.

    Conclusions:

    • The behavior of coupled directed percolation systems is highly sensitive to dimensionality and the nature of interactions.
    • Asymmetric interactions can lead to complex phase transitions and novel universality classes.
    • The model provides a framework for studying epidemic dynamics with reactive agents.
