title: Multicomponent binary spreading process.
abstract: I investigate numerically the phase transitions of two-component generalizations of binary spreading processes in one dimension. In these models pair annihilation AA --> emptyset, BB --> emptyset, explicit particle diffusion, and binary pair production processes compete with each other. Several versions with spatially different production are explored, and it is shown that for the cases 2A --> 3A, 2B--> 3B and 2A --> 2AB, 2B--> 2BA a phase transition occurs at zero production rate (sigma=0), which belongs to the class of N-component, asymmetric branching and annihilating random walks, characterized by the order parameter exponent beta=2. In the model with particle production AB --> ABA, BA --> BAB a phase transition point can be located at sigma(c)=0.3253 which belongs to the class of one-component binary spreading processes.
