12. The case without explicit diffusion corresponds to the "standard" [10] dimer filling model and the diffusive case to the "head-on" dimer filling model [24, 25] with the final vacancy concentration 0.1233. The final configuration is independent of the asymmetry in the binding rates.

Note that the described solution is derived for a parameter set which requires a fine tuning between diffusion, pair-creation and annihilation rate. In our model this relation is not fulfilled. But, this difference becomes irrelevant in the scaling limit, since their and our model can be mapped onto each other by introducing a short-ranged interaction between particles. See also PARK S.-C., PARK J.-M. and KIM D., Phys. Rev. E, 63 (2001) 057102 for a comment about the validity of the analytical approximation. The observed deviations, however, do not affect the scaling limit.
