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 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…

The persistence probability P_g(t) of the global order-parameter of a simple ferromagnet undergoing phase-ordering kinetics after a quench from a fully disordered state to below the critical temperature, T<T_c, is analysed. It is argued…

We investigate the persistence probability $p(t)$ of the position of a Brownian particle with shape asymmetry in two dimensions. The persistence probability is defined as the probability that a stochastic variable has not changed it's sign…

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…

A ``persistence'' exponent theta has been extensively used to describe the nonequilibrium dynamics of spin systems following a deep quench: for zero-temperature homogeneous Ising models on the d-dimensional cubic lattice, the fraction p(t)…

A `persistence exponent' $\theta$ is defined for nonequilibrium critical phenomena. It describes the probability, $p(t) \sim t^{-\theta}$, that the global order parameter has not changed sign in the time interval $t$ following a quench to…

We study the the survival probability P(t) upto time t, of a test particle moving in a fluctuating external field. The particle moves according to some prescribed deterministic or stochastic rules and survives as long as the external field…

The persistence exponent \theta for the global order parameter, M(t), of a system quenched from the disordered phase to its critical point describes the probability, p(t) \sim t^{-\theta}, that M(t) does not change sign in the time interval…

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 local persistence probability P_l(t) that a site never becomes active up to time t, and the global persistence probability P_g(t) that the deviation of the global density from its mean value rho(t)-<\rho(t)> does not change its sign up…

Consider a real Gaussian stationary process $f_\rho$, indexed on either $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{Z}$ and admitting a spectral measure $\rho$. We study $\theta_{\rho}^\ell=-\lim\limits_{T\to\infty}\frac{1}{T}…

We investigate quantum persistence by analyzing amplitude and phase fluctuations of the wave function governed by the time-dependent free-particle Schr\"odinger equation. The quantum system is initialized with local random uncorrelated…

We present a number models describing the sequential deposition of a mixture of particles whose size distribution is determined by the power-law $p(x) \sim \alpha x^{\alpha-1}$, $x\leq l$ . We explicitly obtain the scaling function in the…

We consider a periodic Ising chain with nearest-neighbour and $r$-th neighbour interaction and quench it from infinite temperature to zero temperature. The persistence probability $P(t)$, measured as the probability that a spin remains…

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…

The persistence behavior for fluctuating steps on the $Si(111)$ $(\sqrt3 \times \sqrt3)R30^{0} - Al$ surface was determined by analyzing time-dependent STM images for temperatures between 770 and 970K. The measured persistence probability…

Persistence is defined as the probability that the local value of a fluctuating field remains at a particular state for a certain amount of time, before being switched to another state. The concept of persistence has been found to have many…

This article deals with the asymptotic behaviour as $t\to +\infty$ of the survival function $P[T > t],$ where $T$ is the first passage time above a non negative level of a random process starting from zero. In many cases of physical…

We consider the thermodynamics of a uniformly charged polyelectrolyte with harmonic bonds. For such a system there is at high temperatures an approximate scaling of global properties like the end-to-end distance and the interaction energy…
