Crossover behaviors in branching annihilating attracting walk

Abstract:
We introduce branching annihilating attracting walk (BAAW) in one dimension. The attracting walk is implemented by a biased hopping in such a way that a particle prefers hopping to a nearest neighbor located on the side where the nearest particle is found within the range of attraction. We study the BAAW with four offspring by extensive Monte Carlo simulation. At first, we find the critical exponents of the BAAW with infinite range of attraction, which are different from those of the directed Ising (DI) universality class. Our results are consistent with the recent observation [Daga and Ray, Phys. Rev. E 99, 032104 (2019)2470-004510.1103/PhysRevE.99.032104]. Then, by studying crossover behaviors, we show that as far as the range of attraction is finite the BAAW belongs to the DI class. We conclude that the origin of non-DI critical behavior of the BAAW with infinite range of attraction is the long-range nature of the attraction.

Random Variables
Uppercase letters such as X or Y denote a random variable. Lowercase letters like x or y denote the value of a random variable. If X is a random variable, then X is written in words, and x is given as a number.
For example, let X = the...

Crossing Over
The homologous pairs of sister chromosomes—one from the maternal and one from the paternal genome—then begin to align alongside each other lengthwise, matching corresponding DNA positions in a process...
Crossover Experiments
Crossover designs are performed even with smaller sample sizes since the samples can act as their controls. These are better than simple randomized trials since patients are exposed to all the treatments.
