It is a common belief that power-law distributed avalanches are inherently unpredictable. This idea affects phenomena as diverse as evolution, earthquakes, superconducting vortices, stock markets, etc; from atomic to social scales. It…
Recently, the paradigm that the dynamic magnetosphere displays sandpile-type phenomenology has been advanced, in which energy dissipation is by means of avalanches which do not have an intrinsic scale. This may in turn imply that the system…
We examine probability distribution for avalanche sizes observed in self-organized critical systems. While a power-law distribution with a cutoff because of finite system size is typical behavior, a systematic investigation reveals that it…
In many situations we are interested in the propagation of energy in some portions of a three dimensional system with dilute long-range links. In this paper sandpile model is defined on the three-dimensional small world network with real…
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…
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…
The avalanche properties of models that exhibit 'self-organized criticality' (SOC) are still mostly awaiting theoretical explanations. A recent mapping (Europhys. Lett.~53, 569) of many sandpile models to interface depinning is presented…
We study distributions of dissipative and nondissipative avalanches in Manna's stochastic sandpile, in one and two dimensions. Our results lead to the following conclusions: (1) avalanche distributions, in general, do not follow simple…
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 BTW sandpile model is considered on three dimensional percolation lattice which is tunned with the occupation parameter $p$. Along with the three-dimensional avalanches, we study the energy propagation in two-dimensional cross-sections.…
Dynamical processes exhibiting absorbing states are essential in the modeling of a large variety of situations from material science to epidemiology and social sciences. Such processes exhibit the possibility of avalanching behavior upon…
Physical systems characterized by stick-slip dynamics often display avalanches. Regardless of the diversity of their microscopic structure, these systems are governed by a power-law distribution of avalanche size and duration. Here we focus…
The abelian sandpile model in two dimensions does not show the type of critical behavior familar from equilibrium systems. Rather, the properties of the stationary state follow from the condition that an avalanche started at a distance r…
We study extreme events of avalanche activities in finite-size two-dimensional self-organized critical (SOC) models, specifically the stochastic Manna model (SMM) and the Bak-Tang-Weisenfeld (BTW) sandpile model. Employing the approach of…
Power laws in nature are considered to be signatures of complexity. The theory of self-organized criticality (SOC) was proposed to explain their origins. A longstanding principle of SOC is the \emph{separation of timescales} axiom. It…
We investigate a random--neighbours version of the two dimensional non-conserving earthquake model of Olami, Feder and Christensen [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 68}, 1244 (1992)]. We show both analytically and numerically that criticality can be…
We investigate the relevance of {\sl self-organized criticality (SOC)} models in previously published empirical datasets, which includes statistical observations in astrophysics, geophysics, biophysics, sociophysics, and informatics. We…
We have studied the damage spreading (defined in the text) in the 'sandpile' model of self organised criticality. We have studied the variations of the critical time (defined in the text) and the total no of sites damaged at critical time…
We investigate the sandpile model on the two--dimensional Sierpinski gasket fractal. We find that the model displays novel critical behavior, and we analyze the distribution functions of avalanche sizes, lifetimes and topplings and…
The depinning transition critical point is manifested as power-law distributed avalanches exhibited by slowly driven elastic interfaces in quenched random media. Here we show that since avalanches with different starting heights relative to…
