Bak-Sneppen model near zero dimension

Abstract

We consider the Bak--Sneppen model near zero dimension where the avalanche exponent τ\tau is close to 1 and the exponents μ\mu and σ\sigma are close to 0. We demonstrate that τ1=μσ=exp{μ1γ+...}\tau-1=\mu-\sigma=\exp\{-\mu^{-1}-\gamma+...\} in this limit, where γ\gamma is the Euler's constant. The avalanche hierarchy equation is rewritten in a form that makes possible to find the relation between the critical exponents σ\sigma and μ\mu with high accuracy. We obtain new, more precise, values of the critical exponents for the 1D and 2D Bak-Sneppen model and for the 1D anisotropic Bak-Sneppen model.
