Generalized Dynamic Scaling for Critical Relaxations
  The dynamic relaxation process for the two dimensional Potts model at criticality starting from an initial state with very high temperature and arbitrary magnetization is investigated with Monte Carlo methods. The results show that there exists universal scaling behaviour even in the short-time regime of the dynamic evolution. In order to describe the dependence of the scaling behaviour on the initial magnetization, a critical characteristic function is introduced.
