The persistence probability $P(t)$, measured as the probability that a spin remains unflipped upto time $t$, is studied by computer simulation for suitable values of $r$. We observe that as time progresses, $P(t)$ first decays as $t^{-0.22}$ (-the {\\em first} regime), then the $P(t)-t$ curve has a small slope (in log-log scale) for some time (-the {\\em second} regime) and at last it decays nearly as $t^{-3/8}$ (-the {\\em third} regime). We argue that in the first regime, the persistence behaviour is the usual one for a two-dimensional system, in the second regime it is like that of a non-interacting (`zero-dimensional') system and in the third regime the persistence behaviour is like that of a one dimensional Ising model. We also provide explanations for such behaviour.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-03-13T13:31:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "64.60.Ht", "05.50.+q" ], "keywords": [ "multidimensional persistence behaviour", "ising system", "spin remains unflipped upto time", "th neighbour interaction", "computer simulation" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review E", "year": 2008, "month": "Mar", "volume": 77, "number": 3, "pages": "031111" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008PhRvE..77c1111C" } } }
