Abstract
It is shown that, if the initial measure is translation-invariant, the n finite-range stochastic Ising models allowing zero flip-rates conver ge. In particular, the biased annihilating process converges to a mixt ure of a product measure and delta(phi) and the double-flipping proces s converges to a product measure. The method of relative entropy is em ployed.
