Abstract

A dissipative stochastic sandpile model is constructed and studied on small world networks in one and two dimensions with different shortcut densities ϕ\phi, where ϕ=0\phi=0 represents regular lattice and ϕ=1\phi=1 represents random network. The effect of dimension, network topology and specific dissipation mode (bulk or boundary) on the the steady state critical properties of non-dissipative and dissipative avalanches along with all avalanches are analyzed. Though the distributions of all avalanches and non-dissipative avalanches display stochastic scaling at ϕ=0\phi=0 and mean-field scaling at ϕ=1\phi=1, the dissipative avalanches display non trivial critical properties at ϕ=0\phi=0 and 11 in both one and two dimensions. In the small world regime (212ϕ0.12^{-12} \le \phi \le 0.1), the size distributions of different types of avalanches are found to exhibit more than one power law scaling with different scaling exponents around a crossover toppling size scs_c. Stochastic scaling is found to occur for s<scs<s_c and the mean-field scaling is found to occur for s>scs>s_c. As different scaling forms are found to coexist in a single probability distribution, a coexistence scaling theory on small world network is developed and numerically verified.
