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…

We introduce the standard distribution width of fitness to characterize the global and individual features of a ecosystem in the Bak-Sneppen evolution model. Through tracking this quantity in evolution, a different hierarchy of avalanche…

The Bak--Sneppen model is a simple stochastic model of evolution that exhibits self-organized criticality and for which few analytical results have been established. In the original Bak-Sneppen model and many subsequent variants,…
In the present work we extend the Bak-Sneppen model for biological evolution by introducing local interactions between species. This ``environmental'' perturbation can modify the intrinsic fitness of each element of the ecology, leading to…
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.…

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…

We study the one-dimensional Bak-Sneppen model for the evolution of species in an ecosystem. Of particular interest are the temporal fluctuations in the fitness variables. We numerically compute the power spectral density and apply the…
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…
We considered a stochastic version of the Bak-Sneppen model (SBSM) of ecological evolution where the the number $M$ of sites mutated in a mutation event is restricted to only two. Here the mutation zone consists of only one site and this…

Here we provide a detailed analysis, along with some extensions and additonal investigations, of a recently proposed self-organised model for the evolution of complex networks. Vertices of the network are characterised by a fitness variable…
