We use Monte Carlo simulations and finite-size scaling theory to investigate the phase transition and critical behavior of the S -state block voter model on square lattices. Our numerical results indicate that the system exhibits an order–disorder phase transition at a given value of the noise parameter, which changes from a continuous transition for S ≤ 4 to a discontinuous transition for S ≥...
