We study the discrete Bak-Sneppen model introduced by Barbay and Kenyon (2001) "On the discrete Bak-Sneppen model of self-organized criticality". We extend their results as well as the non-triviality result of Meester and Znamenskiy (2002)…
We discuss the role played by the Lyapunov exponents in the dynamics of Zhang's model of Self-Organized Criticality. We show that a large part of the spectrum (slowest modes) is associated with the energy transpor in the lattice. In…
We study the scaling behavior of the Lyapunov spectra of a chaotic shell model for 3D turbulence. First, we quantify localization of the Lyapunov vectors in the wavenumber space by using the numerical results. Using dimensional arguments of…
Avalanches of electrochemical activity in brain networks have been empirically reported to obey scale-invariant behavior --characterized by power-law distributions up to some upper cut-off-- both in vitro and in vivo. Elucidating whether…
Elastic systems driven in a disordered medium exhibit a depinning transition at zero temperature and a creep regime at finite temperature and slow drive $f$. We derive functional renormalization group equations which allow to describe in…
Plastic deformation of crystals proceeds through a sequence of intermittent slip avalanches with scale-free (power-law) size distribution. On macroscopic scales, however, plastic flow is known to be smooth and homogeneous. In the present…
We consider the Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld (BTW) and the Manna sandpile models of self-organized criticality. In the models, previous studies revealed a signature of long-range temporal correlations in the avalanche activity. We examine the power…
We consider the Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld sandpile model on square lattices in different dimensions (D>=6). A finite size scaling analysis of the avalanche probability distributions yields the values of the distribution exponents, the dynamical…
A dynamic scaling Ansatz for the approach to the Self-Organized Critical (SOC) regime is proposed and tested by means of extensive simulations applied to the Bak-Sneppen model (BS), which exhibits robust SOC behavior. Considering the…
One of the key problems related to the Bak-Sneppen evolution model on the circle is to compute the limit distribution of the fitness at a fixed observation vertex in the stationary regime, as the size of the system tends to infinity.…
We use a discrete-time formulation to study the asymmetric avalanche process [Phys. Rev. Lett. vol. 87, 084301 (2001)] on a finite ring and obtain an exact expression for the average avalanche size of particles as a function of toppling…
In this work we study the effects of introducing long range interactions in the Bak-Sneppen (BS) model of biological evolution. We analyze a recebtly propopsed version of the BS model where the interactions decay as r^{-alpha}; in this way…
The structure of Lyapunov spectra for many particle systems with a random interaction between the particles is discussed. The dynamics of the tangent space is expressed as a master equation, which leads to a formula that connects the…
We study the backwards Markov chain for the Bak-Sneppen model of biological evolution and derive its corresponding reversibility equations. We show that, in contrast to the forwards Markov chain, the dynamics of the backwards chain…
This paper presents new sufficient conditions for convergence and asymptotic or exponential stability of a stochastic discrete-time system, under which the constructed Lyapunov function always decreases in expectation along the system's…
We discuss avalanche and finite size fluctuations in a mesoscopic model to describe the shear plasticity of amorphous materials. Plastic deformation is assumed to occur through series of local reorganizations. Yield stress criteria are…
This paper applies the theory of continuous phase transitions of statistical mechanics to a slider-block model. The slider-block model is chosen as a representative of systems with avalanches. Similar behavior can be observed in a…

We investigate the behavior of the Lyapunov spectrum of a linear discrete-time system under the action of small perturbations in order to obtain some verifiable conditions for stability and openness of the Lyapunov spectrum. To this end we…
