Abstract

We update a one-dimensional chain of Ising spins of length L with algorithms which are parameterized by the probability p for a certain site to get updated in one time step. The result of the update event itself is determined by the energy change due to the local change in the configuration. In this way we interpolate between the Metropolis algorithm at zero temperature when p is of the order of 1/L and L is large, and a synchronous deterministic updating procedure for p=1. As a function of p we observe a phase transition between the stationary states to which the algorithm drives the system. These are non-absorbing stationary states with antiferromagnetic domains for p>p c , and absorbing states with ferromagnetic domains for p≤p c . This means that above this transition the stationary states have lost any remnants of the ferromagnetic Ising interaction. A measurement of the critical exponents shows that this transition belongs to the universality class of parity conservation.
