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…
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 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…
