We present a model which displays Griffiths phase i.e. algebraic decay of density with continuously varying exponent in the absorbing phase. In active phase, the memory of initial conditions is lost with continuously varying complex exponent in this model. This is 1-D model where fraction r of sites obey rules leading to directed percolation (DP) class and the rest evolve according to rules leading to compact directed percolation (CDP) class. For infection probability p < pc, the fraction of active sites ρ(t) = 0 asymptotically. For p > pc, ρ(∞) > 0. At p = pc, ρ(t), the survival probability from single seed and the average number of active sites starting from single seed decay logarithmically. The local persistence P l (∞) > 0 for p < pc and P l (∞) = 0 for p > pc. For p > ps, local persistence P l (t) decays as a power law with continuously varying exponents. The persistence exponent is clearly complex as p → 1. The complex exponent implies logarithmic periodic oscillations in persistence. The wavelength and the amplitude of the logarithmic periodic oscillations increases with p. We note that underlying lattice or disorder does not have self-similar structure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
