Many types of spatiotemporal patterns have been observed under nonequilibrium conditions. Cycling through four or more states can provide specific dynamics, such as the spatial coexistence of multiple phases. However, transient dynamics…
We study the non-equilibrium steady states that emerge when two interacting three-dimensional Potts blocks slide on each other. As at equilibrium the Potts model exhibits different types of phase transitions for different numbers $q$ of…

Wave propagation can be observed in various nonequilibrium systems. In this study, we investigated the properties of several wave modes in active six-state Potts models using Monte Carlo simulations of square and hexagonal lattices.…
We present extensive numerical simulations of a family of non-equilibrium Potts models with absorbing states that allows for a variety of scenarios, depending on the number of spin states and the range of the spin-spin interactions. These…
Cyclic (rock-paper-scissors-type) population models serve to mimic complex species interactions. Focusing on a paradigmatic three-species model with mutations in one dimension, we observe an interplay between equilibrium and non-equilibrium…
We consider magnetic friction between two systems of $q$-state Potts spins which are moving along their boundaries with a relative constant velocity $v$. Due to the interaction between the surface spins there is a permanent energy flow and…
Dynamical systems containing heteroclinic cycles and networks can be invoked as models of intransitive competition between three or more species. When populations are assumed to be well-mixed, a system of ordinary differential equations…
Species diversity in ecosystems is often accompanied by the self-organisation of the population into fascinating spatio-temporal patterns. Here, we consider a two-dimensional three-species population model and study the spiralling patterns…
A three level quantum system interacting with nonequilibrium environment is investigated. The stationary state of the system is found (both for non-coherent and coherent environment) and relaxation and decoherence to the stationary state is…
The three species ABC model of driven particles on a ring is generalized to include vacancies and particle-nonconserving processes. The model exhibits phase separation at high densities. For equal average densities of the three species, it…
We show that the recently proposed interacting Ehrenfest M-urn model at equilibrium can be exactly mapped to a mean-field M-state Potts model. By exploiting this correspondence, we show that the M-state Potts model with M >= 3, with…
We consider the Potts model on a two-dimensional periodic rectangular lattice with general coupling constants $J_{ij}>0$, where $i,j\in\{1,2,3\}$ are the possible spin values (or colors). The resulting energy landscape is thus significantly…
The Potts model with invisible states was introduced to explain discrepancies between theoretical predictions and experimental observations of phase transitions in some systems where $Z_q$ symmetry is spontaneously broken. It differs from…
The present work is devoted to the modelling which is based on the modified Cahn-Hilliard equation, the interplay of equilibrium and non-equilibrium phase transitions. The non-equilibrium phase transitions are modelled by the Schl\"ogl…
Singularities in macroscopic systems at discontinuous phase transitions are replaced in finite systems by sharp but continuous changes. Both the energy differences between metastable and stable phases and the energy barriers separating…
We study a Rock-Paper-Scissors model for competing populations that exhibits travelling waves in one spatial dimension and spiral waves in two spatial dimensions. A characteristic feature of the model is the presence of a robust…
