Abstract

The scaling behaviour of the persistence probability in the critical dynamics is investigated with both the heat-bath and the Metropolis algorithm for the two-dimensional Ising model and Potts model. Special attention is drawn to the dependence on the initial magnetization. The global persistence exponent is measured. Universality is confirmed.
