Short Time

Renormalization-group approach is applied to investigate the short-time nonequilibriumcritical behavior of pure and diluted spin systems with nonmagnetic point-like impurities.The dissipative relaxation dynamics with non-conserved order parameter is considered. For thefirst time the description of the order parameter growth induced by the initial nonequilibriumstate of system is carried out at fixed dimension d = 3 without use of ε-expansion.
