Abstract
To better understand the temporal characteristics and the lifetime of fluctuations in stochastic processes in networks, we investigated diffusive persistence in various graphs. Global diffusive persistence is defined as the fraction of nodes for which the diffusive field at a site (or node) has not changed sign up to time t (or, in general, that the node remained active or inactive in discrete models). Here we investigate disordered and random networks and show that the behavior of the persistence depends on the topology of the network. In two-dimensional (2D) disordered networks, we find that above the percolation threshold diffusive persistence scales similarly as in the original 2D regular lattice, according to a power law P(t,L)∼t^{-θ} with an exponent θ≃0.186, in the limit of large linear system size L. At the percolation threshold, however, the scaling exponent changes to θ≃0.141, as the result of the interplay of diffusive persistence and the underlying structural transition in the disordered lattice at the percolation threshold. Moreover, studying finite-size effects for 2D lattices at and above the percolation threshold, we find that at the percolation threshold, the long-time asymptotic value obeys a power law P(t,L)∼L^{-zθ} with z≃2.86 instead of the value of z=2 normally associated with finite-size effects on 2D regular lattices. In contrast, we observe that in random networks without a local regular structure, such as Erdős-Rényi networks, no simple power-law scaling behavior exists above the percolation threshold.

Abstract
The two-dimensional (2D) Ising model is the statistical physics textbook example for phase transitions and their kinetics. Quenched through the Curie point with Glauber rates, the late-time description of the ferromagnetic domain coarsening finds its place at the scalar sector of the Allen-Cahn (or Model A) class, which encompasses phase-ordering kinetics endowed with a nonconserved order parameter. Resisting exact results sought for theoreticians since Lifshitz's first account in 1962, the central quantities of 2D Model A-most scaling exponents and correlation functions-remain known up to approximate theories whose disparate outcomes urge experimental assessment. Here we perform such assessment based on a comprehensive study of the coarsening of 2D twisted nematic liquid crystals whose kinetics is induced by a superfast electrical switching from a spatiotemporally chaotic (disordered) state to a two-phase concurrent, equilibrium one. Tracking the dynamics via optical microscopy, we first show the sharp evidence of well-established Model A aspects, such as the dynamic exponent z=2 and the dynamic scaling hypothesis, to then move forward. We confirm the Bray-Humayun theory for Porod's regime describing intradomain length scales of the two-point spatial correlators and show that their nontrivial decay beyond the Porod's scale can be captured in a free-from-parameter fashion by Gaussian theories, namely the Ohta-Jasnow-Kawasaki (OJK) and Mazenko theories. Regarding time-related statistics, we corroborate the aging hypothesis in Model A systems, which includes the collapse of two-time correlators into a master curve whose format is, actually, best accounted for by a solution of the local scaling invariance theory: the same solution that fits the 2D nonconserved Ising model correlator along with the Fisher-Huse conjecture. We also suggest the true value for the local persistence exponent in Model A class, in disfavor of the exact outcome for the diffusion and OJK equations. Finally, we observe a fractal morphology for persistence clusters and extract their universal dimension. Given its accuracy and possibilities, this experimental setup may work as a prototype to address further universality issues in the realm of nonequilibrium systems.

Abstract
We investigate the nonequilibrium dynamics following a quench to zero temperature of the nonconserved Ising model with power-law decaying long-range interactions ∝1/r^{d+σ} in d=2 spatial dimensions. The zero-temperature coarsening is always of special interest among nonequilibrium processes, because often peculiar behavior is observed. We provide estimates of the nonequilibrium exponents, viz., the growth exponent α, the persistence exponent θ, and the fractal dimension d_{f}. It is found that the growth exponent α≈3/4 is independent of σ and different from α=1/2, as expected for nearest-neighbor models. In the large σ regime of the tunable interactions only the fractal dimension d_{f} of the nearest-neighbor Ising model is recovered, while the other exponents differ significantly. For the persistence exponents θ this is a direct consequence of the different growth exponents α as can be understood from the relation d-d_{f}=θ/α; they just differ by the ratio of the growth exponents ≈3/2. This relation has been proposed for annihilation processes and later numerically tested for the d=2 nearest-neighbor Ising model. We confirm this relation for all σ studied, reinforcing its general validity.

Abstract
We investigate the dynamics of a two-dimensional biaxial next-nearest-neighbor Ising model following a quench to zero temperature. The Hamiltonian is given by H=-J_{0}∑_{i,j=1}^{L}[(S_{i,j}S_{i+1,j}+S_{i,j}S_{i,j+1})-κ(S_{i,j}S_{i+2,j}+S_{i,j}S_{i,j+2})]. For κ<1, the system does not reach the equilibrium ground state and keeps evolving in active states forever. For κ≥1, though, the system reaches a final state, but it does not reach the ground state always and freezes to a striped state with a finite probability like a two-dimensional ferromagnetic Ising model and an axial next-nearest-neighbor Ising (ANNNI) model. The overall dynamical behavior for κ>1 and κ=1 is quite different. The residual energy decays in a power law for both κ>1 and κ=1 from which the dynamical exponent z has been estimated. The persistence probability shows algebraic decay for κ>1 with an exponent θ=0.22±0.002 while the dynamical exponent for ordering z=2.33±0.01. For κ=1, the system belongs to a completely different dynamical class with θ=0.332±0.002 and z=2.47±0.04. We have computed the freezing probability for different values of κ. We have also studied the decay of autocorrelation function with time for a different regime of κ values. The results have been compared with those of the two-dimensional ANNNI model.

Abstract
We investigate local persistence in five different models and their variants in the directed Ising (DI) universality class in one dimension. These models have right-left symmetry. We study Grassberger's models A and B. We also study branching and annihilating random walks with two offspring: the nonequilibrium kinetic Ising model and the interacting monomer-dimer model. Grassberger's models are updated in parallel. This is not the case in other models. We find that the local persistence exponent in all these models is unity or very close to it. A change in the mode of the update does not change the exponent unless the universality class changes. In general, persistence exponents are not universal. Thus it is of interest that the persistence exponent in a range of models in the DI class is the same. Excellent scaling behavior of finite-size scaling is obtained using exponents in the DI class in all models. We also study off-critical scaling in some models and DI exponents yield excellent scaling behavior. We further study graded persistence, which shows similar behavior. However, for a logistic map with delay, which also has the transition in the DI class, there is no transition from nonzero to zero persistence at the critical point. Thus the accompanying transition in persistence and universality of the persistence exponent hold when the underlying model has right-left symmetry.

Abstract
We consider a single species reaction diffusion system on a two-dimensional lattice where the particles A are biased to move towards their nearest neighbors and annihilate as they meet. Allowing the bias to take both negative and positive values parametrically, any nonzero bias is seen to drastically affect the behavior of the system compared to the unbiased (simple diffusive) case. For positive bias, a finite number of dimers, which are isolated pairs of particles occurring as nearest neighbors, exist while for negative bias, a finite density of particles survives. Both the quantities vanish in a power-law manner close to the diffusive limit with different exponents. The appearance of dimers is exclusively due to the parallel updating scheme used in the simulation. The results indicate the presence of a continuous phase transition at the diffusive point. In addition, a discontinuity is observed at the fully positive bias limit. The persistence behavior is also analysed for the system.

Abstract
We study the problem of predictability, or "nature vs nurture," in several disordered Ising spin systems evolving at zero temperature from a random initial state: How much does the final state depend on the information contained in the initial state, and how much depends on the detailed history of the system? Our numerical studies of the "dynamical order parameter" in Edwards-Anderson Ising spin glasses and random ferromagnets indicate that the influence of the initial state decays as dimension increases. Similarly, this same order parameter for the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick infinite-range spin glass indicates that this information decays as the number of spins increases. Based on these results, we conjecture that the influence of the initial state on the final state decays to zero in finite-dimensional random-bond spin systems as dimension goes to infinity, regardless of the presence of frustration. We also study the rate at which spins "freeze out" to a final state as a function of dimensionality and number of spins; here the results indicate that the number of "active" spins at long times increases with dimension (for short-range systems) or number of spins (for infinite-range systems). We provide theoretical arguments to support these conjectures, and also study analytically several mean-field models: the random energy model, the uniform Curie-Weiss ferromagnet, and the disordered Curie-Weiss ferromagnet. We find that for these models, the information contained in the initial state does not decay in the thermodynamic limit-in fact, it fully determines the final state. Unlike in short-range models, the presence of frustration in mean-field models dramatically alters the dynamical behavior with respect to the issue of predictability.

Abstract
We investigate the dynamical behavior of the Ising model under a zero-temperature quench with the initial fraction of up spins 0≤x≤1. In one dimension, the known results for persistence probability are verified; it shows algebraic decay for both up and down spins asymptotically with different exponents. It is found that the conventional finite-size scaling is valid here. In two dimensions, however, the persistence probabilities are no longer algebraic; in particular for x≤0.5, persistence for the up (minority) spins shows the behavior P_{min}(t)∼t^{-γ}exp[-(t/τ)^{δ}] with time t, while for the down (majority) spins, P_{maj}(t) approaches a finite value. We find that the timescale τ diverges as (x_{c}-x)^{-λ}, where x_{c}=0.5 and λ≃2.31. The exponent γ varies as θ_{2d}+c_{0}(x_{c}-x)^{β} where θ_{2d}≃0.215 is very close to the persistence exponent in two dimensions; β≃1. The results in two dimensions can be understood qualitatively by studying the exit probability, which for different system size is found to have the form E(x)=f[(x-x_{c}/x_{c})L^{1/ν}], with ν≈1.47. This result suggests that τ∼L^{z[over ̃]}, where z[over ̃]=λ/ν=1.57±0.11 is an exponent not explored earlier.

Abstract
The dynamics of ordering in the Ising model, following quench to zero temperature, has been studied via Glauber spin-flip Monte Carlo simulations in space dimensions d=2 and 3. One of the primary objectives has been to understand phenomena associated with the persistent spins, viz., time decay in the number of unaffected spins, growth of the corresponding pattern, and its fractal dimensionality for varying correlation length in the initial configurations, prepared at different temperatures, at and above the critical value. It is observed that the fractal dimensionality and the exponent describing the power-law decay of persistence probability are strongly dependent upon the relative values of nonequilibrium domain size and the initial equilibrium correlation length. Via appropriate scaling analyses, these quantities have been estimated for quenches from infinite and critical temperatures. The above-mentioned dependence is observed to be less pronounced in the higher dimension. In addition to these findings for the local persistence, we present results for the global persistence as well. Furthermore, important observations on the standard domain growth problem are reported. For the latter, a controversy in d=3, related to the value of the exponent for the power-law growth of the average domain size with time, has been resolved.

Abstract
Consider a dynamical many-body system with a random initial state subsequently evolving through stochastic dynamics. What is the relative importance of the initial state ("nature") versus the realization of the stochastic dynamics ("nurture") in predicting the final state? We examined this question for the two-dimensional Ising ferromagnet following an initial deep quench from T=∞ to T=0. We performed Monte Carlo studies on the overlap between "identical twins" raised in independent dynamical environments, up to size L=500. Our results suggest an overlap decaying with time as t(-θ)(h) with θ(h)=0.22 ± 0.02; the same exponent holds for a quench to low but nonzero temperature. This "heritability exponent" may equal the persistence exponent for the two-dimensional Ising ferromagnet, but the two differ more generally.

Abstract
We introduce a stochastic model of binary opinion dynamics in which the opinions are determined by the size of the neighboring domains. The exit probability here shows a step function behavior, indicating the existence of a separatrix distinguishing two different regions of basin of attraction. This behavior, in one dimension, is in contrast to other well known opinion dynamics models where no such behavior has been observed so far. The coarsening study of the model also yields novel exponent values. A lower value of persistence exponent is obtained in the present model, which involves stochastic dynamics, when compared to that in a similar type of model with deterministic dynamics. This apparently counterintuitive result is justified using further analysis. Based on these results, it is concluded that the proposed model belongs to a unique dynamical class.

Abstract
The dynamical evolution of a recently introduced one-dimensional model [S. Biswas and P. Sen, Phys. Rev. E 80, 027101 (2009)] (henceforth, referred to as model I), has been made stochastic by introducing a parameter beta such that beta=0 corresponds to the Ising model and beta-->infinity to the original model I. The equilibrium behavior for any value of beta is identical: a homogeneous state. We argue, from the behavior of the dynamical exponent z , that for any beta not equal 0 , the system belongs to the dynamical class of model I indicating a dynamic phase transition at beta=0. On the other hand, the persistence probabilities in a system of L spins saturate at a value Psat(beta,L)=(beta/L)alphafbeta, where alpha remains constant for all beta not equal 0 supporting the existence of the dynamic phase transition at beta=0. The scaling function f(beta) shows a crossover behavior with f(beta)=constant for beta1 and f(beta) proportional, variantbeta-alpha for beta1.

Abstract
We propose a model of binary opinion in which the opinion of the individuals changes according to the state of their neighboring domains. If the neighboring domains have opposite opinions then the opinion of the domain with the larger size is followed. Starting from a random configuration, the system evolves to a homogeneous state. The dynamical evolution shows a scaling behavior with the persistence exponent theta approximately 0.235 and dynamic exponent z approximately 1.02 + or - 0.02. Introducing disorder through a parameter called rigidity coefficient rho (probability that people are completely rigid and never change their opinion), the transition to a heterogeneous society at rho=0(+) is obtained. Close to rho=0, the equilibrium values of the dynamic variables show power-law scaling behavior with rho. We also discuss the effect of having both quenched and annealed disorder in the system.

We consider the persistence phenomenon in advected passive scalar equation in one dimension. The velocity field is random with the v(k,omega)v(-k,-omega) approximately mid R:kmid R:;{-(2+alpha)} . In the presence of the nonlinearity the complete Green's function becomes G;{-1}=-iomega+Dk2+Sigma . We determine Sigma self-consistently from the correlation function which gives Sigma approximately k;{beta} , with beta=(1-alpha)2 . The effect of the nonlinear term in the equation in the O(;{2}) is to replace the diffusion term due to molecular viscosity by an effective term of the form Sigma_{0}k;{beta} . The stationary correlator for this system is [sech(T2)];{1beta} . Using the self-consistent theory we have determined the relation between beta and alpha . Finally, the independent interval approximation (IIA) method is used to determine the persistent exponent.

Abstract
We investigate the dynamics of a two-dimensional axial next-nearest-neighbor Ising model following a quench to zero temperature. The Hamiltonian is given by H= -J_(0) summation operator(L)_(i,j=1)S_(i,j)S_(i+1,j)-J_(1)summation operator_(i,j=1)(S_{i,j}S_{i,j+1}-kappaS_{i,j}S_{i,j+2}) . For kappa<1 , the system does not reach the equilibrium ground state but slowly evolves to a metastable state. For kappa>1 , the system shows a behavior similar to that of the two-dimensional ferromagnetic Ising model in the sense that it freezes to a striped state with a finite probability. The persistence probability shows algebraic decay here with an exponent theta=0.235+/-0.001 while the dynamical exponent of growth z=2.08+/-0.01 . For kappa=1 , the system belongs to a completely different dynamical class; it always evolves to the true ground state with the persistence and dynamical exponent having unique values. Much of the dynamical phenomena can be understood by studying the dynamics and distribution of the number of domain walls. We also compare the dynamical behavior to that of a Ising model in which both the nearest and next-nearest-neighbor interactions are ferromagnetic.

Abstract
We study the role of the quench temperature Tf in the phase-ordering kinetics of the Ising model with single spin flip in d=2,3 . Equilibrium interfaces are flat at Tf=0 , whereas at Tf>0 they are curved and rough (above the roughening temperature in d=3 ). We show, by means of scaling arguments and numerical simulations, that this geometrical difference is important for the phase-ordering kinetics as well. In particular, while the growth exponent z=2 of the size of domains L(t) approximately t 1/z is unaffected by Tf, other exponents related to the interface geometry take different values at Tf=0 or Tf>0 . For Tf>0 a crossover phenomenon is observed from an early stage where interfaces are still flat and the system behaves as at Tf=0 , to the asymptotic regime with curved interfaces characteristic of Tf>0 . Furthermore, it is shown that the roughening length, although subdominant with respect to L(t) , produces appreciable correction to scaling up to very long times in d=2 .

Abstract
We extend the definition of a global order parameter to the case of a critical system confined between two infinite parallel plates separated by a distance L. For a quench to the critical point we study the persistence property of the global order parameter and show that there is a crossover behavior characterized by a nonuniversal exponent which depends on the ratio of the system size to a dynamic length scale.

Abstract
We have investigated the random walk problem in a finite system and studied the crossover induced in the persistence probability by the system size. Analytical and numerical work show that the scaling function is an exponentially decaying function. We consider two cases of trapping, one by a box of size L and the other by a harmonic trap. Our analytic calculations are supported by numerical works. We also present numerical results on the harmonically trapped randomly accelerated particle and the randomly accelerated particle with viscous drag.

Abstract
In order to check on a recent suggestion that local scale invariance [M. Henkel, Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 265701 (2001)] might hold when the dynamics is of Gaussian nature, we have carried out the measurement of the response function in the kinetic Ising model with Glauber dynamics quenched to T(C) in d=4, where Gaussian behavior is expected to apply, and in the two other cases of the d=2 model quenched to T(C) and to below T(C), where instead deviations from Gaussian behavior are expected to appear. We find that in the d=4 case there is an excellent agreement between the numerical data, the local scale invariance prediction and the analytical Gaussian approximation. No logarithmic corrections are numerically detected. Conversely, in the d=2 cases, both in the quench to T(C) and to below T(C), sizable deviations of the local scale invariance behavior from the numerical data are observed. These results do support the idea that local scale invariance might miss to capture the non-Gaussian features of the dynamics. The considerable precision needed for the comparison has been achieved through the use of a fast new algorithm for the measurement of the response function without applying the external field. From these high quality data we obtain a=0.27+/-0.002 for the scaling exponent of the response function in the d=2 Ising model quenched to below T(C), in agreement with previous results.

Abstract
We report the results of analytic and numerical investigations of the time scale of survival or non-zero-crossing probability S(t) in equilibrium step fluctuations described by Langevin equations appropriate for attachment/detachment and edge-diffusion limited kinetics. An exact relation between long-time behaviors of the survival probability and the autocorrelation function is established and numerically verified. S(t) is shown to exhibit a simple scaling behavior as a function of system size and sampling time. Our theoretical results are in agreement with those obtained from an analysis of experimental dynamical scanning tunneling microscopy data on step fluctuations on Al/Si(111) and Ag(111) surfaces.

Abstract
We study the persistence properties of the T=0 coarsening dynamics of one-dimensional q-state Potts model using a modified mean-field approximation (MMFA). In this approximation, the spatial correlations between the interfaces separating spins with different Potts states is ignored, but the correct time dependence of the mean density P(t) of persistent spins is imposed. For this model, it is known that P(t) follows a power-law decay with time, P(t) approximately t(-theta(q)), where theta(q) is the q-dependent persistence exponent. We study the spatial structure of the persistent region within the MMFA. We show that the persistent site pair correlation function P2(r,t) has the scaling form P2(r,t)=P(t)(2)f(r/t(1/2)) for all values of the persistence exponent theta(q). The scaling function has the limiting behavior f(x) approximately x(-2theta) (x<<1) and f(x)-->1 (x>>1). We then show within the independent interval approximation (IIA) that the distribution n(k,t) of separation k between two consecutive persistent spins at time t has the asymptotic scaling form n(k,t)=t(-2phi)g(t,k/t(phi)), where the dynamical exponent has the form phi=max(1/2,theta). The behavior of the scaling function for large and small values of the arguments is found analytically. We find that for small separations k<<t(phi),n(k,t) approximately P(t)k(-tau), where tau=max[2(1-theta),2theta], while for large separations k>>t(phi), g(t,x) decays exponentially with x. The unusual dynamical scaling form and the behavior of the scaling function is supported by numerical simulations.

Abstract
We study persistence in one-dimensional ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic nearest-neighbor Ising models with parallel dynamics. The probability P(t) that a given spin has not flipped up to time t, when the system evolves from an initial random configuration, decays as P(t) approximately 1/t(straight theta(p)) with straight theta(p) approximately 0.75 numerically. A mapping to the dynamics of two decoupled A+A-->0 models yields straight theta(p)=3/4 exactly. A finite size scaling analysis clarifies the nature of dynamical scaling in the distribution of persistent sites obtained under this dynamics.
