A major attraction of diffusive shock acceleration is the prediction of power-law spectra for energetic particle distributions. However, this property is not fundamental to the theory. We demonstrate that for planar shocks with an oblique…
We evaluate analytically and numerically the size of the frozen core and various scaling laws for critical Boolean networks that have a power-law in- and/or out-degree distribution. To this purpose, we generalize an efficient method that…
The probability distribution P(k) of the sizes k of critical trees (branching ratio m=1) is well known to show a power-law behavior k^(-3/2). Such behavior corresponds to the mean-field approximation for many critical and self-organized…

We show how inelastic collisions induce a power law with exponent -3 in the decay of the angular velocity distribution of anisotropic particles with sufficiently small moment of inertia. We investigate this question within the Boltzmann…
Granular packings display a wealth of mechanical features which are of widespread significance. One of these features is creep: the slow deformation under applied stress. Creep is common for many other amorphous materials such as many…
This paper derives the total power or energy loss rate generated in the form of gravitational waves by an inspiralling compact binary system to the five halves post-Newtonian (2.5PN) approximation of general relativity. Extending a recently…
We study the propagation of energy in one-dimensional anharmonic chains subject to a periodic, localized forcing. For the purely harmonic case, forcing frequencies outside the linear spectrum produce exponentially localized responses,…

Numerical simulations of the scattering of a linear plane wave incoming onto a nonlinear medium (sine-Gordon) reveals that: i) nonlinearity allows energy transmission in the forbidden band, ii) this nonlinear transmission occurs beyond an…
Starting from a simple definition of stationary regime in first-order relaxation processes, we obtain that experimental results are to be fitted to a power-law when approaching the stationary limit. On the basis of this result we propose a…
Chains with long-range interactions are considered. The interactions are defined such that each nth particle interacts only with chain particles with the numbers n+a(m) and n-a(m), where m=1,2,3,... and a(m) is an integer-valued function.…
Using both analytic and numerical methods, we study the radial growth probability distribution $P(r,M)$ for large scale off lattice diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) clusters. If the form of $P(r,M)$ is a Gaussian, we show analytically…
We report a general class of steady and transient states of granular gases. We find that the kinetic theory of inelastic gases admits stationary solutions with a power-law velocity distribution, f(v) ~ v^(-sigma). The exponent sigma is…

Simulated dark matter profiles are often modelled as a `NFW' density profile rather than a single power law. Recently, attention has turned to the rather rigorous power-law behaviour exhibited by the `pseudo phase-space density' of the dark…
