Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys. 2012 Nov;86(5 Pt 1):051113. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevE.86.051113. Epub 2012 Nov 13.

Abstract

We consider generalized zero-temperature Glauber dynamics under a partially synchronous updating mode for a one-dimensional system. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we calculate the phase diagram and show that the system exhibits phase transition between the ferromagnetic and active antiferromagnetic phases. Moreover, we provide analytical calculations that allow us to understand the origin of the phase transition and confirm simulation results obtained earlier for synchronous updates.
