Quasi-stationary simulations of the directed percolation universality class in d = 3 dimensions

Abstract

We present quasi-stationary simulations of three-dimensional models with a single absorbing configuration, namely the contact process (CP), the susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) model and the contact replication process (CRP). The moment ratios of the order parameters for the DP class in three dimensions were set up using the well established SIS and CP models. We also show that the mean-field exponent for d = 3 reported previously for the CRP (Ferreira 2005 Phys. Rev. E 71 017104) is a transient observed in the spreading analysis.
