We consider Glauber dynamics (starting from an extremal configuration) in a monotone spin system, and show that interjecting extra updates cannot increase the expected Hamming distance or the total variation distance to the stationary…
We present the results of Monte Carlo simulations for the critical dynamics of the three-dimensional site-diluted quenched Ising model. Three different dynamics are considered, these correspond to the local update Metropolis scheme as well…
We consider a one-dimensional Ising model each of whose $N$ spins is in contact with two thermostats of distinct temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$. Under Glauber dynamics the stationary state happens to coincide with the equilibrium state at an…
We consider the most general single-spin-flip dynamics for the ferromagnetic Ising chain with nearest-neighbour influence and spin reversal symmetry. This dynamics is a two-parameter extension of Glauber dynamics corresponding respectively…

We consider a variant of Glauber dynamics of Ising spins on a one-dimensional lattice, where each spin flips according to the relative state of the spin to its left. Moreover, each bond allows for two rates; flips which equalize nearest…
In this paper, we prove a general result concerning finite-range, attractive interacting particle systems on $\{-1, 1\}^{\mathbb{Z}^d}$. If the particle system has a unique stationary measure and, in a precise sense, relaxes to this…
We study the performance of a Wolff-type embedding algorithm for $RP^N$ $\sigma$-models. We find that the algorithm in which we update the embedded Ising model \`a la Swendsen-Wang has critical slowing-down as $z_\chi \approx 1$. If instead…
We consider the Ising model for two interacting groups of spins embedded in an Erd\"{o}s-R\'{e}nyi random graph. The critical properties of the system are investigated by means of extensive Monte Carlo simulations. Our results evidence the…
The dynamical scaling of ageing ferromagnetic systems can be generalized to a local scale invariance. This yields a prediction for the causal two-time response function, which has been numerically confirmed in the Glauber-Ising model…
We analyse the metastable behaviour of the dilute Curie-Weiss model subject to a Glauber dynamics. The model is a random version of a mean-field Ising model, where the coupling coefficients are Bernoulli random variables with mean $p\in…
We consider Metropolis Glauber dynamics for sampling proper $q$-colourings of the $n$-vertex complete $b$-ary tree when $3\leq q\leq b/2\ln(b)$. We give both upper and lower bounds on the mixing time. For fixed $q$ and $b$, our upper bound…
In this paper we propose a novel method to study critical systems numerically by a combined collective-mode algorithm and Renormalization Group on the lattice. This method is an improved version of MCRG in the sense that it has all the…
We study the worst-case mixing time of the global Kawasaki dynamics for the fixed-magnetization Ising model on the class of graphs of maximum degree $\Delta$. Proving a conjecture of Carlson, Davies, Kolla, and Perkins, we show that below…
We analyze clustering and (local) recurrence of a standard Markov process model of spatial domain coarsening. The continuous time process, whose state space consists of assignments of +1 or -1 to each site in ${\bf Z}^2$, is the…

We investigate the spreading of damage in the three-dimensional Ising model by means of large-scale Monte-Carlo simulations. Within the Glauber dynamics we use different rules for the order in which the sites are updated. We find that the…
