We consider the stochastic sandpile model with uniform toppling rule on the integer line. During a uniform toppling, with probability $1/3$ one particle is sent to the right of the toppled vertex, with probability $1/3$ one particle is sent…
In this paper, the Bak--Tang--Wiesenfeld model for various substrate topologies and a variety of neighborhoods is reconsidered. With computer simulation, we study the distribution of avalanche sizes. Using the Z-score we confirm that…
We study the onset of bulk avalanches and boundary outflow in the Bak Tang Wiesenfeld (BTW) model and in the stochastic BTW models by computer simulation. We also study the dependency of these two onset times on system sizes. We observe…
The symmetry properties which determine the critical exponents and universality classes in conservative sandpile models are identified. This is done by introducing a set of models, including all possible combinations of abelian vs.…
The onsets of toppling and dissipation in the BTW model are studied by computer simulation. The distributions of these two onset times and their dependences on the system size are also studied. Simple power law dependences of these two…

A two state sandpile model with preferential sand distribution is developed and studied numerically on scale free networks with power-law degree ($k$) distribution, {\em i.e.}: $P_k\sim k^{-\alpha}$. In this model, upon toppling of a…
The absorbing "ricepile" model with stochastic toppling rules has been numerically studied. Local limited, local unlimited, nonlocal limited and nonlocal unlimited versions of the absorbing model have been investigated. Transport properties…
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…
Avalanches in mean-field models can be mapped to memoryless branching processes defining a universality class. We present a reduced expression mapping a broad family of critical and subcriticial avalanches in mean-field models at the…
We study the sandpile model on three-dimensional spanning Ising clusters with the temperature $T$ treated as the control parameter. By analyzing the three dimensional avalanches and their two-dimensional projections (which show…
In the rotational sandpile model, either the clockwise or the anti-clockwise toppling rule is assigned to all the lattice sites. It has all the features of a stochastic sandpile model but belongs to a different universality class than the…
We study an inhomogeneous sandpile model in which two different toppling rules are defined. For any site only one rule is applied corresponding to either the Bak, Tang and Wiesenfeld model {[}P.Bak, C. Tang, and K. Wiesenfeld, Phys. Rev.…
We introduce and study a new directed sandpile model with threshold dynamics and stochastic toppling rules. We show that particle conservation law and the directed percolation-like local evolution of avalanches lead to the formation of a…
We show that in a broad class of directed abelian sandpile models that had been expected to have the same exponents as the Dhar-Ramaswamy model, the avalanche exponent depends upon the details of the interaction, calling into question the…
We introduce a sandpile model where, at each unstable site, all grains are transferred randomly to downstream neighbors. The model is local and conservative, but not Abelian. This does not appear to change the universality class for the…
We study the $m=3$ bootstrap percolation model on a cubic lattice, using Monte Carlo simulation and finite-size scaling techniques. In bootstrap percolation, sites on a lattice are considered occupied (present) or vacant (absent) with…
Consider the Abelian sandpile measure on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d \ge 2$, obtained as the $L \to \infty$ limit of the stationary distribution of the sandpile on $[-L,L]^d \cap \mathbb{Z}^d$. When adding a grain of sand at the origin, some region,…

The two dimensional BTW model of SOC, with probabilistically nonuniform distribution of particles among the nearest neighbouring sites, is studied by computer simulation. When the value of height variable of a particular site reaches the…
