We consider the overdamped dynamics of a paradigmatic long-range system of particles residing on the sites of a one-dimensional lattice, in the presence of thermal noise. The internal degree of freedom of each particle is a periodic…
The collective behavior of a two-dimensional wet granular cluster under horizontal swirling motions is investigated experimentally. Depending on the balance between the energy injection and dissipation, the cluster evolves into various…
The Bak Sneppen (BS) model is a very simple model that exhibits all the richness of self-organized criticality theory. At the thermodynamic limit, the BS model converges to a situation where all particles have a fitness that is uniformly…
The concept of fitness as a measure for a species's success in natural selection is central to the theory of evolution. We here investigate how reproduction rates which are not constant but vary in response to environmental fluctuations,…
The dynamics of well-mixed biological populations is usually studied by mean-field methods and weak-noise expansions. Similar methods have been applied also in spatially extended problems, relying on the fact that these populations are…
We demonstrate that the measurement of $1/f^{\alpha}$ noise at the single molecule or nano-object limit is remarkably distinct from the macroscopic measurement over a large sample. The single particle measurements yield a conditional…
We study the dynamics of the Bak-Sneppen model on small-world networks. For each site in the network, we define a ``connectance,'' which measures the distance to all other sites. We find radically different patterns of activity for…
System-environment interactions are intrinsically nonlinear and dependent on the interplay between many degrees of freedom. The complexity may be even more pronounced when one aims to describe biologically motivated systems. In that case,…
Fluctuations in the large-scale structure of the Universe contain significant information about cosmological physics, but are modulated in survey datasets by various observational effects. Building on existing literature, we provide a…
We consider a certain lattice branching random walk with on-site competition and in an environment which is heterogeneous at a macroscopic scale $1/\varepsilon$ in space and time. This can be seen as a model for the spatial dynamics of a…
In this work we study the effects of introducing long range interactions in the Bak-Sneppen (BS) model of biological evolution. We analyze a recebtly propopsed version of the BS model where the interactions decay as r^{-alpha}; in this way…
Stress vs. strain fluctuations in athermal amorphous solids are an example of `crackling noise' of the type studied extensively in the context of elastic membranes moving through random potentials. Contrary to the latter, we do not have a…
Long-range correlations manifested as power spectral density scaling $1/f^\beta$ for frequency $f$ and a range of exponents $\beta$ are investigated for a superposition of uncorrelated pulses with distributed durations $\tau$. Closed-form…
This paper continue earlier investigations on the decay of Burgers turbulence in one dimension from Gaussian random initial conditions of the power-law spectral type $E_0(k)\sim|k|^n$. Depending on the power $n$, different characteristic…
A deterministic version of the Bak-Sneppen model is studied. The role of the Lyapunov spectrum in the onset of scale-free behavior is established and avalanches are interpreted as return times to a zero-measure set. The problem of accurate…
We study the behaviour of the interacting particle system, arising from the Bak-Sneppen model and Jante's law process. Let $N$ vertices be placed on a circle, such that each vertex has exactly two neighbours. To each vertex assign a real…
We show how, based on considerations on the observed form of the galaxy 2-point spatial correlation function xi(r), a very simplified -- yet surprisingly effective -- model for the linear density fluctuations power spectrum can be…
The energy dependence of the spectral fluctuations in the interacting boson model (IBM) and its connections to the mean-field structures have been analyzed through adopting two statistical measures, the nearest neighbor level spacing…
Evolution in changing environments is an important, but little studied aspect of the theory of evolution. The idea of adaptive walks in fitness landscapes has triggered a vast amount of research and has led to many important insights about…
We consider biological evolution as described within the Bak and Sneppen 1993 model. We exhibit, at the self-organized critical state, a power-law sensitivity to the initial conditions, calculate the associated exponent, and relate it to…
