In the limit of strong self-interaction the equilibrium properties for both parallel and sequential updating are described by a nearest-neighbor Hamiltonian with twice the interaction strength of the dynamical model.A model based on the classic noninteracting Ehrenfest urn model with two urns is generalized to M urns with the introduction of interactions for particles within the same urn. As the inter-particle interaction strength is varied, phases of different levels of nonuniformity emerge and their stabilities are calculated analytically. In particular, coexistence of locally stable uniform and nonuniform phases connected by first-order transition occurs. The phase transition threshold and energy barrier can be derived exactly together with the phase diagram obtained analytically. These analytic results are further confirmed by Monte Carlo simulations.We investigate the finite-size-scaling (FSS) behavior of the leading Fisher zero of the partition function in the complex temperature plane in the p-state clock models of p=5 and 6. We derive the logarithmic finite-size corrections to the scaling of the leading zeros which we numerically verify by performing the higher-order tensor renormalization group (HOTRG) calculations in the square lattices of a size up to 128×128 sites. The necessity of the deterministic HOTRG method in the clock models is noted by the extreme vulnerability of the numerical leading zero identification against stochastic noises that are hard to be avoided in the Monte Carlo approaches. We characterize the system-size dependence of the numerical vulnerability of the zero identification by the type of phase transition, suggesting that the two transitions in the clock mo
