We consider the particle current in the asymmetric avalanche process on a ring. It is known to exhibit a transition from the intermittent to continuous flow at the critical density of particles. The exact expressions for the first two…
An avalanche or cascade occurs when one event causes one or more subsequent events, which in turn may cause further events in a chain reaction. Avalanching dynamics are studied in many disciplines, with a recent focus on average avalanche…
The theory of a flux steady-state related to avalanche formation is presented for the simplest model of a sand pile within framework of the Lorenz approach. The stationary values of sand velocity and sand pile slope are derived as functions…
We investigate a network model in which a single random walker combines local diffusion with preferential resetting to previously visited nodes. Each arrival deposits one unit of stress on the target node, and threshold crossings trigger…
We analyze numerically three different models exhibiting an absorbing phase transition. We focus on the finite-size scaling as well as the dynamical scaling behavior. An accurate determination of several critical exponents allows to…
We investigate how a weak constant force becomes detectable through fluctuations in anomalous transport in strongly heterogeneous media. Rather than focusing on the mean drift, we show that the key signature of the force appears in the…
In this article, we study the existence of an absorbing-state phase transition of an Abelian process that generalises the Activated Random Walk (ARW). Given a vertex transitive $G=(V,E)$, we associate to each site $x \in V$ a capacity $w_x…
Record-breaking avalanches generated by the dynamics of several driven nonlinear threshold models are studied. Such systems are characterized by intermittent behavior, where slow buildup of energy is punctuated by an abrupt release of…
We perform molecular dynamics simulations of homogeneous athermal systems of poly-disperse soft discs under shear. For purely repulsive interactions between particles, and under a confining external pressure, a monotonous flow curve (strain…
We model the dynamics of avalanches in granular assemblies in partly filled rotating cylinders using a mean-field approach. We show that, upon varying the cylinder angular velocity $\omega$, the system undergoes a hysteresis cycle between…
Measurement-induced phases exhibit unconventional dynamics as emergent collective phenomena, yet their behavior in tailored interacting systems -- crucial for quantum technologies -- remains less understood. We develop a systematic toolbox…
Although the paradigm of criticality is centred around spatial correlations and their anomalous scaling, not many studies of Self-Organised Criticality (SOC) focus on spatial correlations. Often, integrated observables, such as avalanche…
We study the order-disorder transition in colloidal suspensions under shear flow by performing Brownian dynamics simulations. We characterize the transition in terms of a statistical property of time-dependent maximum value of the structure…
Turbulent pipe flows exhibit organizational states (OSs) that are labelled by discrete azimuthal wavenumber modes and are reminiscent of the traveling wave solutions of low Reynolds number regimes. The discretized time evolution of the OSs,…
We build a minimal, mean-field, model of plasticity of amorphous solids, based upon a phenomenology of dissipative events derived, in a preceding paper [A. Lemaitre, C. Caroli, arXiv:0705.0823] from extensive molecular simulations. It…
We investigate the dynamics of overdamped $D$-dimensional systems of particles repulsively interacting through short-ranged power-law potentials, $V(r)\sim r^{-\lambda}\;(\lambda/D>1)$. We show that such systems obey a non-linear diffusion…
We investigate the process of random sequential adsorption of polydisperse particles whose size distribution exhibits a power-law dependence in the small size limit, $P(R)\sim R^{\alpha-1}$. We reveal a relation between pattern formation…
Complex systems, when poised near a critical point of a phase transition between order and disorder, exhibit a dynamics comprising a scale-free mixture of order and disorder which is universal, i.e. system-independent (1-5). It allows…
Within the framework of the random first-order transition theory of glasses, we discuss the statistics of thermal avalanches, the large scale rearrangements in driven amorphous systems near their instability. Stringy excitations yield…
Recent experiments report that slowly-sheared noncolloidal particle suspensions can exhibit unexpected rate($\omega$)-dependent complex viscosities in oscillatory shear, despite a constant relative viscosity in steady shear. Using a minimal…
