  "abstract": "We have investigated the dynamic critical behavior of the two-dimensional 4-state Potts model using an alternative order parameter first used by Vanderzande [J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. \\textbf{20}, L549 (1987)] in the study of the Z(5) model. We have estimated the global persistence exponent $\\theta_g$ by following the time evolution of the probability $P(t)$ that the considered order parameter does not change its sign up to time $t$. We have also obtained the critical exponents $\\theta$, $z$, $\\nu$, and $\\beta$ using this alternative definition of the order parameter and our results are in complete agreement with available values found in literature.",
