Abstract

We study kinetic one- and two-dimensional Ising models whose transition probabilities occur according to two (or more) locally competing temperatures. The model is solved analytically and studied numerically on different assumptions to reveal a variety of stationary nonequilibrium states and phase transitions; we also investigate the system relaxation in some typical cases.
