Complex networks across various fields are often considered to be scale free -- a statistical property usually solely characterized by a power-law distribution of the nodes' degree $k$. However, this characterization is incomplete. In…

We study a problem of data packet transport in scale-free networks whose degree distribution follows a power-law with the exponent $\gamma$. We define load at each vertex as the accumulated total number of data packets passing through that…

We study the abelian sandpile model on a random binary tree. Using a transfer matrix approach introduced by Dhar & Majumdar, we prove exponential decay of correlations, and in a small supercritical region (i.e., where the branching process…

We study a directed stochastic sandpile model of Self-Organized Criticality, which exhibits recurrent, multiple topplings, putting it in a separate universality class from the exactly solved model of Dhar and Ramaswamy. We show that in the…

We extend a generic class of systems which have previously been shown to spontaneously develop scaling (power law) distributions of their elementary degrees of freedom. While the previous systems were linear and exploded exponentially for…

Weighted scale-free networks with topology-dependent interactions are studied. It is shown that the possible universality classes of critical behaviour, which are known to depend on topology, can also be explored by tuning the form of the…

Molecular dynamics simulations with varying damping are used to examine the effects of inertia and spatial dimension on sheared disordered solids in the athermal, quasistatic limit. In all cases the distribution of avalanche sizes follows a…

We investigate the sandpile model with Yukawa-type interactions, whose effective range is tuned by an external parameter $R$. Our results reveal that at specific values of $R$, the system exhibits giant avalanches that span the system,…

Disordered systems are characterized by the existence of many sample- dependent local energy minima, that cause a stepwise response when the system is perturbed. In this article we use an approach based on elementary probabilistic methods…

Many real-world scale-free networks, such as neural networks and online communication networks, consist of a fixed number of nodes but exhibit dynamic edge fluctuations. However, traditional models frequently overlook scenarios where the…

The rate equations are used to study the scale-free behavior of the weight distribution in evolving networks whose topology is determined only by degrees of preexisting vertices. An analysis of these equations shows that the degree…

We study a model of ``organized'' criticality, where a single avalanche propagates through an \textit{a priori} static (i.e., organized) sandpile configuration. The latter is chosen according to an i.i.d. distribution from a Borel…

We present results of large scale numerical simulations of the Bak, Tang and Wiesenfeld sandpile model. We analyze the critical behavior of the model in Euclidean dimensions $2\leq d\leq 6$. We consider a dissipative generalization of the…

We consider the Bak--Sneppen model near zero dimension where the avalanche exponent $\tau$ is close to 1 and the exponents $\mu$ and $\sigma$ are close to 0. We demonstrate that $\tau-1=\mu-\sigma=\exp\{-\mu^{-1}-\gamma+...\}$ in this…
