We study the distribution of persistent sites (sites unvisited by particles $A$) in one dimensional $A+A\to\emptyset$ reaction-diffusion model. We define the {\it empty intervals} as the separations between adjacent persistent sites, and…

The spatial distribution of unvisited/persistent sites in $d=1$ $A+A\to\emptyset$ model is studied numerically. Over length scales smaller than a cut-off $\xi(t)\sim t^{z}$, the set of unvisited sites is found to be a fractal. The fractal…
The spatial distribution of persistent spins at zero-temperature in the pure two-dimensional Ising model is investigated numerically. A persistence correlation length, $\xi (t)\sim t^Z$ is identified such that for length scales $r<<\xi (t)$…
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…
In a recent paper (cond-mat/9901130), the spatial distribution of unvisited sites in the one-dimensional single-species annihilation process was investigated. It was claimed that this distribution is characterized by a new length scale, and…

We show that the persistence probability $P(t,L)$, in a coarsening system of linear size $L$ at a time $t$, has the finite size scaling form $P(t,L)\sim L^{-z\theta}f(\frac{t}{L^{z}})$ where $\theta$ is the persistence exponent and $z$ is…
We study domain distributions in the one-dimensional Ising model subject to zero-temperature Glauber and Kawasaki dynamics. The survival probability of a domain, $S(t)\sim t^{-\psi}$, and an unreacted domain, $Q_1(t)\sim t^{-\delta}$, are…
We present the first example where length scale for the growth of ordered regions and the correlation length for the two point correlations of persistent sites scale differently with time. We do so by studying a global spin exchange…
We study the dynamic scaling properties of an aggregation model in which particles obey both diffusive and driven ballistic dynamics. The diffusion constant and the velocity of a cluster of size $s$ follow $D(s) \sim s^\gamma$ and $v(s)…

The persistence properties of a set of random walkers obeying the A+B -> 0 reaction, with equal initial density of particles and homogeneous initial conditions, is studied using two definitions of persistence. The probability, P(t), that an…
What happens when a continuously evolving stochastic process is interrupted with large changes at random intervals $\tau$ distributed as a power-law $\sim \tau^{-(1+\alpha)};\alpha>0$? Modeling the stochastic process by diffusion and the…
Stationary probability distributions of one-dimensional random walks on lattices with aperiodic disorder are investigated. The pattern of the distribution is closely related to the diffusional behavior, which depends on the wandering…
In sustained growth with random dynamics stationary distributions can exist without detailed balance. This suggests thermodynamical behavior in fast growing complex systems. In order to model such phenomena we apply both a discrete and a…

We consider the problem of `discrete-time persistence', which deals with the zero-crossings of a continuous stochastic process, X(T), measured at discrete times, T = n(\Delta T). For a Gaussian Stationary Process the persistence (no…
We consider two sequential models of deposition and aggregation for particles. The first model (No Diffusion) simulates surface diffusion through a deterministic capture area, while the second (Sequential Diffusion) allows the atoms to…
