Discontinuous transitions can survive to quenched disorder in a 2-dimensional nonequilibrium system

Statistical Mechanics 2020-02-18 v2 Computational Physics

Abstract

We explore the effects that quenched disorder has on discontinuous nonequilibrium phase transitions into absorbing states. We focus our analysis on the Naming Game model, a nonequilibrium low-dimensional system with different absorbing states. The results obtained by means of the finite-size scaling analysis and from the study of the temporal dynamics of the density of active sites near the transition point evidence that the spatial quenched disorder does not destroy the discontinuous transition.
