Consider the convex hull of a collection of disjoint open discs with radii $1/2$. The boundary of the convex hull consists of a finite number of line segments and arcs. Randomly choose a point in one of the arcs in the boundary so that the…
We propose a kind of Bak-Sneppen dynamics as a general optimization technique to treat magnetic systems. The resulting dynamics shows self-organized criticality with power law scaling of the spatial and temporal correlations. An alternative…
A directed dissipative sandpile model is studied in the two-dimension. Numerical results indicate that the long time steady states of this model are critical when grains are dropped only at the top or, everywhere. The critical behaviour is…
The dynamics of a fibre-bundle type model with equal load sharing rule is numerically studied. The system, formed by N elements, is driven by a slow increase of the load upon it which is removed in a novel way through internal transfers to…
Self-organized criticality is characterized by power law correlations in the non-equilibrium steady state of externally driven systems. A dynamical system proposed here self-organizes itself to a critical state with no characteristic size…
Self-organised criticality (SOC) has been suggested as a potentially powerful unifying paradigm for interpreting the structure of, and signals from, accretion systems. After reviewing the most promising sites where SOC might be observable,…
A spring-block model governed by threshold dynamics and driven by temporally increasing spring constants is investigated. Due to its novel multiplicative driving, criticality occurs even with periodic boundary conditions via a mechanism…
The critical behavior of many physical systems involves two competing $n^{}_1-$ and $n^{}_2-$component order-parameters, ${\bf S}^{}_1$ and ${\bf S}^{}_2$, respectively, with $n=n^{}_1+n^{}_2$. Varying an external control parameter $g$,…
We study models of biological evolution and investigate a key factor to yield self-organized criticality (SOC). The Bak-Sneppen (BS) model is the most basic model that shows an SOC state, which is developed based on minimal and plausible…
According to Pruessner and Peters [Phys. Rev. E {\bf 73}, 025106(R) (2006)], the finite size scaling exponents of the order parameter in sandpile models depend on the tuning of driving and dissipation rates with system size. We point out…
We consider the Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld sandpile model on square lattices in different dimensions (D>=6). A finite size scaling analysis of the avalanche probability distributions yields the values of the distribution exponents, the dynamical…
We revisit the topic of self-organized criticality (SOC) in simple statistical graph models, with the purpose of capturing essential processes leading to the emergence of macroscopic spacetime from the microscopic dynamics in loop quantum…
In a model of self-organized criticality unstable sites discharge to just one of their neighbors. For constant discharge ratio $\alpha$ and for a certain range of values of the input energy, avalanches are simple branchless P\'olya random…
We investigate the conditions required for general spin systems with frustration and disorder to display self-organized criticality, a property which so far has been established only for the fully-connected infinite-range…
We introduce a dissipative version of the Zhang's model of Self-Organized Criticality, where a parameter allows to tune the local energy dissipation. We analyze the main dynamical features of the model and relate in particular the Lyapunov…
A new type of spatial-temporal correlation in the process approaching to the self-organized criticality is investigated for the two simple models for biological evolution. The change behaviors of the position with minimum barrier are shown…
A new quantity, average fitness, is introduced in Bak-Sneppen evolution model. Through this new quantity, a new hierarchy of avalanches is observed in the evolution of Bak-Sneppen model. An exact gap equation, governing the…
A control scheme to reduce the size of avalanches of the Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld model on complex networks is proposed. Three network types are considered: those proposed by Erd\H{o}s-Renyi, Goh-Kahng-Kim, and a real network representing the…
In [Braz. J. Phys. 30, 27 (2000)] Dickman et al. suggested that self-organized criticality can be produced by coupling the activity of an absorbing state model to a dissipation mechanism and adding an external drive. We analyzed the…
The existence of true scale-invariance in slowly driven models of self-organized criticality without a conservation law, as forest-fires or earthquake automata, is scrutinized in this paper. By using three different levels of description -…
