The dynamic surface critical behavior of macroscopic systems whose dynamic bulk critical behavior is described by model $B$ is investigated. The semi-infinite extensions of bulk model $B$ introduced in a previous treatment [Phys. Rev. B 49,…
We consider simple examples of self-organized critical systems on one-dimensional superlattices without local particle conservation laws. The set of all recurrence states are also found in these examples using a method similar to the…
Power laws and distributions with heavy tails are common features of many experimentally studied complex systems, like the distribution of the sizes of earthquakes and solar flares, or the duration of neuronal avalanches in the brain.…
Rotational constraint representing a local external bias generally has non-trivial effect on the critical behavior of lattice statistical models in equilibrium critical phenomena. In order to study the effect of rotational bias in a out of…
The critical behaviour of three-dimensional disordered systems is investigated by analysing the spectral fluctuations of the energy spectrum. Our results suggest that the initial symmetries (orthogonal, unitary and symplectic) are broken by…
The self-organized critical state is characterized by a power law distribution of cluster sizes and other properties. However experiments with sand and rice piles reveal distributions of avalanche sizes which are not power law distributed.…
We study the time evolution of classical spin systems with purely relaxational dynamics, quenched from T >> T_c to the critical point, in the semi-infinite geometry. Shortly after the quench, like in the bulk, a nonequilibrium regime…
It is argued that self-duality of one system leads to the zero finite-size scaling amplitude of the critical internal energy for all system belonging to the same universality class. For such models, we may expect that condition of equality…
This paper studies a stylized model of local interaction where agents choose from an ever increasing set of vertically ranked actions, e.g. technologies. The driving forces of the model are infrequent upward shifts (``updates''), followed…
Continuous phase transitions are studied in a two dimensional nonequilibrium model with an infinite number of absorbing configurations. Spreading from a localized source is characterized by nonuniversal critical exponents, which vary…
The well known Sandpile model of self-organized criticality generates avalanches of all length and time scales, without tuning any parameters. In the original models the external drive is randomly selected. Here we investigate a drive which…
It is known that the classical $O(N)$ model in dimension $d > 3$ at its bulk critical point admits three boundary universality classes: the ordinary, the extra-ordinary and the special. For the ordinary transition the bulk and the boundary…
A model Vlasov--Poisson system is simulated close the point of marginal stability, thus assuming only the wave-particle resonant interactions are responsible for saturation, and shown to obey the power--law scaling of a second-order phase…
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 review the properties of the self-organized critical (SOC) forest-fire model. The paradigm of self-organized criticality refers to the tendency of certain large dissipative systems to drive themselves into a critical state independent of…
Recognising changes in collective dynamics in complex systems is essential for predicting potential events and their development. Possessing intrinsic attractors with laws associated with scale invariance, self-organised critical dynamics…
We describe the construction of a conserved reaction-diffusion system that exhibits self-organized critical (avalanche-like) behavior under the action of a slow addition of particles. The model provides an illustration of the general…
The large deviation functional of the density field in the weakly asymmetric exclusion process with open boundaries is studied using a combination of numerical and analytical methods. For appropriate boundary conditions and bulk drives the…
This paper develops a unified analytical framework for determinant identities under finite-rank perturbations of square matrices that remains valid without invertibility assumptions. In contrast to classical inverse-based formulations, the…
We discuss the relation between self-organized criticality and depinning transitions by mapping sandpile models to equations that describe driven interfaces in random media. This equivalence yields a continuum description and gives insight…
