The phase transition of the Gross-Neveu model with N fermions is investigat
ed by means of a nonperturbative evolution equation for the scale dependenc
e of the effective average action. The critical exponents and scaling ampli
tudes are calculated for various values of N in d = 3. It is also explicitl
y verified that the Neveu-Yukawa model belongs to the same universality cla
ss as the Gross-Neveu model.
