In this paper, we consider a simplified model of turbulence for large Reynolds numbers driven by a constant power energy input on large scales. In the statistical stationary regime, the behaviour of the kinetic energy is characterised by…
We derive an infinite hierarchy of exact equations for the Bak-Sneppen model in arbitrary dimensions. These equations relate different moments of temporal duration and spatial size of avalanches. We prove that the exponents of the BS model…
The paper develops one-parametric family of the sand-piles dealing with the grains' local losses on the fixed amount. The family exhibits the crossover between the models with deterministic and stochastic relaxation. The mean height of the…
We continue our investigation of the two-dimensional Abelian sandpile model in terms of a logarithmic conformal field theory with central charge c=-2, by introducing two new boundary conditions. These have two unusual features: they carry…
We compute the lattice 1-site probabilities, on the upper half-plane, of the four height variables in the two-dimensional Abelian sandpile model. We find their exact scaling form when the insertion point is far from the boundary, and when…
We analyze the avalanche size distribution of the Abelian Manna model on two different fractal lattices with the same dimension d_g=ln(3)/ln(2), with the aim to probe for scaling behavior and to study the systematic dependence 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…
In a sandpile model addition of a hole is defined as the removal of a grain from the sandpile. We show that hole avalanches can be defined very similar to particle avalanches. A combined particle-hole sandpile model is then defined where…
We present a one-dimensional numerical model based on elastically coupled sliders on a frictional incline of variable tilt. This very simple approach makes possible to study the precursors to the avalanche and to provide a rationalization…
Two-dimensional periodic surface waves propagating under the combined influence of gravity and surface tension on water of finite depth are considered. Within the framework of small-amplitude waves, we find the exact solutions of the…
An avalanche or cascade occurs when one event causes one or more subsequent events, which in turn may cause further events in a chain reaction. Avalanching dynamics are studied in many disciplines, with a recent focus on average avalanche…
We present a sandpile model, in which the instability of a site is determined also by the variables in a neighbourhood. This is a modification of the Abelian Sandpile Model, in which abelianity is preserved: it shares several mathematical…
Uniform spherical beads were used to explore the behavior of a granular system near its critical angle of repose on a conical bead pile. We found two tuning parameters that could take the system to a critical point where a simple power-law…
The Abelian sandpile process evolves configurations of chips on the integer lattice by toppling any vertex with at least 4 chips, distributing one of its chips to each of its 4 neighbors. When begun from a large stack of chips, the terminal…
We study the Abelian sandpile model (ASM), a process where grains of sand are placed on a graph's vertices. When the number of grains on a vertex is at least its degree, one grain is distributed to each neighboring vertex. This model has…
Kraichnan's model of passive scalar advection in which the driving velocity field has fast temporal decorrelation is studied as a case model for understanding the appearance of anomalous scaling in turbulent systems. We demonstrate how the…
I discuss the size distribution ${\cal N}(S)$ of avalanches occurring at the yielding transition of mean field (i.e., Hebraud-Lequeux) models of amorphous solids. The size distribution follows a power law dependence of the form: ${\cal…

Growing networks decorated with antiferromagnetically coupled spins are archetypal examples of complex systems due to the frustration and the multivalley character of their energy landscapes. Here we use the damage spreading method (DS) to…
The Abelian Manna model of self-organized criticality is studied on various three-dimensional and fractal lattices. The exponents for avalanche size, duration and area distribution of the model are obtained by using a high-accuracy moment…
