Renormalization group calculations for fluctuation-dominated reaction-diffusion systems are generally in agreement with simulations and exact solutions. However, simulations of the single-species reactions 3A->(0,A,2A) at their upper critical dimension d_c=1 have found asymptotic densities argued to be inconsistent with renormalization group predictions. We show that this discrepancy is resolved by inclusion of the leading corrections to scaling, which we derive explicitly and show to be universal, a property not shared by the A+A->(0,A) reactions. Finally, we demonstrate that two previous Smoluchowski approaches to this problem reduce, with various corrections, to a single theory which yields, surprisingly, the same asymptotic density as the renormalization group.
