Abstract

Coarsening and persistence of Ising spins on a ladder is examined under voter dynamics. The density of domain walls decreases algebraically with time as t-1/2 for sequential as well as parallel dynamics. The persistence probability decreases as t-θs under sequential dynamics, and as t-θp under parallel dynamics where θp = 2 θs ≈ .88. Numerical values of the exponents are explained. The results are compared with the voter model on one and two dimensional lattices, as well as Ising model on a ladder under zero-temperature Glauber dynamics.
