Abstract

A concrete model for hierarchically constrained dynamics in the sense proposed by Palmer et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett.53, 958 (1984)) is presented. The model is a kinetic Ising chain with an asymmetric kinetic constraint, allowing a spin to flip only if its neighbour to the right is in the up spin state. The spin autocorrelation function is obtained by numerically exact calculation for finite chain length up toL=9 and by Monte Carlo simulation for effectively infinite chain length. The Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts formula is found to fit the results only with limited accuracy, and within limited time intervals. We also performed an analytical calculation using an effective-medium approximation. The approximation leads to a spurious blocking transition at a critical up spin concentrationc=0.5.
