title: Validity of scaling relations in absorbing phase transitions with a conserved field.
abstract: The two scaling relations in absorbing phase transitions, nu_||=beta/theta and z=nu_||/nu_(perpendicular), are studied for a conserved lattice gas model. The critical indices calculated elaborately from the all-sample average density of active particles appear to satisfy both relations. However, the exponent nu_(perpendicular) calculated from the surviving samples does not appear to be consistent with the value in the thermodynamic limit. This is in contrast with earlier observations [M. Rossi, Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 1803 (2000); S. Lübeck and P. C. Heger, Phys. Rev. E. 68, 056102 (2003)], in that the former scaling relation was claimed to be violated.
