We implement the damage spreading technique on 2-dimensional isotropic and anisotropic Bak-Sneppen models. Our extensive numerical simulations show that there exists a power-law sensitivity to the initial conditions at the statistically…
We study the behavior under perturbations of different versions of Bak-Sneppen (BS) model in 1 + 1 dimension. We focus our attention on the damage-spreading features of the BS model with both random as well as deterministic updating, with…
Temporal autocorrelation functions for avalanches in the Bak-Sneppen model display aging behavior similar to glassy systems. Numerical simulations show that they decay as power laws with two distinct regimes separated by a time scale which…
In this paper, the Bak--Tang--Wiesenfeld model for various substrate topologies and a variety of neighborhoods is reconsidered. With computer simulation, we study the distribution of avalanche sizes. Using the Z-score we confirm that…
Avalanches, or Avalanche-like, events are often observed in the dynamical behaviour of many complex systems which span from solar flaring to the Earth's crust dynamics and from traffic flows to financial markets. Self-organized criticality…
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…
The Bak-Sneppen model is shown to fall into a different universality class with the introduction of a preferred direction, mirroring the situation in spin systems. This is first demonstrated by numerical simulations and subsequently…
In the Bak-Sneppen model, the lowest fitness particle and its two nearest neighbors are renewed at each temporal step with a uniform (0,1) fitness distribution. The model presents a critical value that depends on the interaction criteria…
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…
One of the key problems related to the Bak-Sneppen evolution model on the circle is to compute the limit distribution of the fitness at a fixed observation vertex in the stationary regime, as the size of the system tends to infinity.…
We derive an infinite hierarchy of exact equations for the Bak-Sneppen model in arbitrary dimensions. These equations relate different moments of temporal duration and spatial size of avalanches. We prove that the exponents of the BS model…
We study the Bak-Sneppen model on locally finite transitive graphs $G$, in particular on Z^d and on T_Delta, the regular tree with common degree Delta. We show that the avalanches of the Bak-Sneppen model dominate independent site…
Slowly driven dissipative systems may evolve to a critical state where long periods of apparent equilibrium are punctuated by intermittent avalanches of activity. We present a self-organized critical model of punctuated equilibrium behavior…
We explore in the mean-field approximation the robustness with respect to dissipation of self-organized criticality in sandpile models. To this end, we generalize a recently introduced self-organized branching process, and show that the…
We consider the barycentric version of the Bak-Sneppen model, a one-dimensional self-organized critical model that describes generalized Keynesian beauty contests with a local interaction rule. We numerically investigate the power spectral…
We develop a statistical analytical model that predicts the occurrence frequency distributions and parameter correlations of avalanches in nonlinear dissipative systems in the state of a slowly-driven self-organized criticality (SOC)…
We discuss mean-field theories for self-organized criticality and the connection with the general theory of branching processes. We point out that the nature of the self-organization is not addressed properly by the previously proposed…
