Quantum phase transitions of different types are observed in the S=1 Neel and XY-like gapless phases, which result from the competitions between the staggered transverse field and magnetic orders induced by anisotropy and alternating interactions. The results are compared with the mean-field and some exactly resolved results.5 pages, 4 figures, published in Phys. Lett. A, 373,1687Strongly Correlated Electronstext
