Using Pade approximations and Monte Carlo simulations, we study the phase diagram of the Two-Neighbor Stochastic Cellular Automata, which have two parameters p1 and p2 and include the mixed site-bond directed percolation (DP) as a special case. The phase transition line p1=p_1 \rm c(p2) has endpoints at (p1, p2)=(1/2,1) and at (0.8092, 0). The former point (1/2,1) is a special point at which Compact DP transition occurs and its critical exponents are known exactly. Results of time-dependent simulation show that in the whole range of parameters, excluding this point (1/2,1), the system belongs to the DP universality class. It is first shown that the shape of the phase transition line near this special point has, asymptotically, a parabolic shape, \it i.e., p_1\rm c(p2)-1/2 ∼ (1-p2)θ with θ= 1/2 for 0 < 1-p2 ≪ 1. We use the Monte Carlo data to assess the accuracy of rigorous bounds for the line recently reported by Liggett and by Katori and Tsukahara. It is also shown that outside the vicinity of the special point (1/2,1), the curve is well approximated by an interpolation formula, similar to the one proposed by Yanuka and Englman.
