We study persistence in one-dimensional ferromagnetic and anti-ferromagnetic 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…

Motivated by certain problems of statistical physics we consider a stationary stochastic process in which deterministic evolution is interrupted at random times by upward jumps of a fixed size. If the evolution consists of linear decay, the…

We consider an arbitrary Gaussian Stationary Process X(T) with known correlator C(T), sampled at discrete times T_n = n \Delta T. The probability that (n+1) consecutive values of X have the same sign decays as P_n \sim \exp(-\theta_D T_n).…

We investigate the global persistence properties of critical systems relaxing from an initial state with non-vanishing value of the order parameter (e.g., the magnetization in the Ising model). The persistence probability of the global…

The local persistence R(t), defined as the proportion of the system still in its initial state at time t, is measured for the Bak--Sneppen model. For 1 and 2 dimensions, it is found that the decay of R(t) depends on one of two classes of…

This work considers a system coupling a viscous Burgers equation (aimed to describe a simplified model of $1D$ fluid flow) with the ODE describing the motion of a point mass moving inside the fluid. The point mass is possibly under the…

We study the dynamics of ordering in ferromagnets via Monte Carlo simulations of the Ising model, employing the Glauber spin-flip mechanism, in space dimensions $d=2$ and $3$. Results for the persistence probability and the domain growth…

For the two dimensional kinetic Ising model at finite temperature, the local mean magnetisation $M_t=t^{-1}\int_{0}^t\sigma(t')\d t'$, simply related to the fraction of time spent by a given spin in the positive direction, has a limiting…

We study the persistence probability for some discrete-time, time-reversible processes. In particular, we deduce the persistence exponent in a number of examples: first, we deal with random walks in random sceneries (RWRS) in any dimension…

We explore a new definition of the persistence exponent, measuring the probability that a spin never flips after a quench of an Ising-like model at a temperature 0<T<Tc, while the usual definition only makes sense at T=0. This probability…

We study persistence in coupled circle map lattices at the onset of spatiotemporal intermittency, an onset which marks a continuous transition, in the universality class of directed percolation, to a unique absorbing state. We obtain a…

Using a twisted nematic liquid crystal system exhibiting planar Ising model dynamics, we have measured the scaling exponent $\theta$ which characterizes the time evolution, $p(t) \sim t^{-\theta}$, of the probability p(t) that the local…

The persistence exponent, theta, is defined by N_F sim t^theta, where t is the time since the start of the coarsening process and the "no-flip fraction", N_F, is the number of points that have not seen a change of "color" since t=0. Here we…
