Title in Portuguese
Transições de fase e criticalidade em modelos estocásticos
Keywords in Portuguese
Dinâmica estocástica
Simulações numéricas
Transições de fase
Abstract in Portuguese
Neste trabalho, analisamos três modelos definidos sobre redes e governados por dinÂmicas estocásticas. Nosso principal interesse repousa no estudo das transições de fase e no comportamento crítico desses modelos. O primeiro deles é o autômato celular pobabilístico da Domany-Kinzel, ao qual aplicamos o método de expansões em série. Em seguida, estudamos o comportamento para tempos longos de alguns processos de reação-difusão por meio de simulação numérica. Tais processos podem ser relevantes para o entendimento da compactação em sistemas granulares. Finalmente, também através de dimulações numéricas, analisamos o processo de contato conservativo, que é uma versão do modelo original definida em um ensemble onde o número de partículas é conservado.

Abstract in English
In this work, we analyzed three lattice models governed by stochastic dynamics. Our main interest lies on the study of the phase transitions and critical behavior of these models. The first of them is the Domany-Kinzel probabilistic cellular automaton, to which we applied the method of series expansions. Next, we studied the long time behavior of some reaction-diffusion processes by means of numerical simulations. Such processes may be relevant to the understanding of granular compaction. Finally, also by means of numerical simulations, we have analyzed the conserved contact process, which is a version of the original model defined on an ensemble where the number of particles is conserved.
