Abstract
A recent renormalization group approach to a modified Bak-Sneppen model is discussed. We propose a self-consistency condition for the blocking scheme to be essential for a successful RG-method applied to self-organized criticality. A new method realizing the RG-approach to the Bak-Sneppen model is presented. It is based on the Monte-Carlo importance sampling idea. The new technique performs much faster than the original proposal. Using this technique we cross-check and improve previous results.
