The emergence of global order in complex systems with locally interacting components is most striking at criticality, where small changes in control parameters result in a sudden global re-organization. We introduce a measure of…
We propose a simple model that aims at describing, in a stylized manner, how local breakdowns due unbalances or congestion propagate in real dynamical networks. The model converges to a self-organized critical stationary state in which the…
