The phase diagram of two different non-equilibrium three-state systems
is here studied by means Of MFRG and computer simulations; critical e
xponents are obtained by a finite-size scaling analysis of the mc data
. A symmetry argument used by Grinstein et al to predict the critical
behaviour of two-state non-equilibrium systems (with up-down symmetry)
is shown to apply to these three-state systems (with symmetry of inte
rchange between two of those states).
