Recent advances on the glass problem motivate reexamining classical models of percolation. Here, we consider the displacement of an ant in a labyrinth near the percolation threshold on cubic lattices both below and above the upper critical…
We study the agglomerative percolation (AP) models on the Bethe lattice and the triangular cactus to establish the exact mean-field theory for AP. Using the self-consistent simulation method, based on the exact self-consistent equation, we…
Using the Bethe ansatz we obtain the exact solution for the one-dimensional asymmetric avalanche process. We evaluate the velocity of dispersive flow as a function of driving force and the density of particles. The obtained solution shows a…
We introduce an external control to reduce the size of avalanches in some sandpile models exhibiting self organized criticality. This rather intuitive approach seems to be missing in the vast literature on such systems. The control action,…
The interaction between a fluid and a granular material plays a crucial role in a large class of phenomena such as landscape morphology and transport of sediments, aeolian sand dunes formation and ripples dynamics. Standard models involve…
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…
The evolution of a pile of granular material is investigated by molecular dynamics using a new model including nonsphericity of the particles instead of introducing static friction terms. The angle of repose of the piles as well as the…
Percolation has long served as a model for diverse phenomena and systems. The percolation transition, that is, the formation of a giant cluster on a macroscopic scale, is known as one of the most robust continuous transitions. Recently,…
An Abelian sandpile model is considered on the Husimi lattice of triangles with an arbitrary coordination number q. Exact expressions for the distribution of height probabilities in the Self-Organized Critical state are derived.
One of the most fascinating experimental achievements of the last decade was the realization of Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC) of ultra-cold atoms in optical lattices (OL's). The extraordinary level of control over these structures allows…
We present a detailed analysis of large scale simulations of avalanches in the 2D Abelian sandpile model. We compare statistical properties of two different decompositions of avalanches into clusters of topplings and waves of topplings.…
Sandpile models have been used to provide simple phenomenological models without incorporating the detailed features of a fully featured model. The Chapman sandpile model Chapman et al Physical Review Letters 86, 2814 (2001) has been used…
We introduce and investigate a simple model to describe recent experiments by Douady and Daerr on flowing sand. The model reproduces experimentally observed compact avalanches, whose opening angle decreases linearly as a threshold is…
The appearance of quasiparticle excitations with fractional statistics is a remarkable defining trait of topologically ordered systems. In this work, we investigate the experimentally relevant finite temperature regime in which one species…
We consider the standard Abelian sandpile process on the Bethe lattice. We show the existence of the thermodynamic limit for the finite volume stationary measures and the existence of a unique infinite volume Markov process exhibiting…
The change from the diffusion-limited to the reaction-limited cooperative behaviour in reaction-diffusion systems is analysed by comparing the universal long-time behaviour of the coagulation-diffusion process on a chain and on the Bethe…
The Abelian sandpile model serves as a canonical example of self-organized criticality. This critical behavior manifests itself through large cascading events triggered by small perturbations. Such large-scale events, known as avalanches,…
The transport and chemical reactions of solutes are modelled as a cellular automaton in which molecules of different species perform a random walk on a regular lattice and react according to a local probabilistic rule. The model describes…
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 neural network model of interacting stochastic discrete two--state cellular automata on a regular lattice. The system is externally tuned to a critical point which varies with the degree of stochasticity (or the effective…
