An out of equilibrium Glauber–Ising model, evolving in accordance with an irreversible and stochastic Markovian dynamics, is analyzed in order to improve our comprehension concerning critical behavior and phase transitions in nonequilibrium systems. Therefore, a lattice model ruled by the competition between two Glauber dynamics acting on interlaced square lattices is proposed. Previous results have shown how the entropy production provides information about irreversibility and criticality. Mean-field approximations and Monte Carlo simulations were used in the analysis. The results obtained here show a continuous phase transition, reflected in the entropy production as a logarithmic divergence of its derivative, which suggests a shared universality class with the irreversible models invariant under the symmetry operations of the Ising model.
