Universality beyond power laws and the average avalanche shape
The study of critical phenomena and universal power laws has been one of the central advances in statistical mechanics during the second half of the past century, explaining traditional thermodynamic critical points1, avalanche behaviour near depinning transitions2,3 and a wide variety of other phenomena4. Scaling, universality and the renormalization group claim to predict all behaviour at lon...
متن کاملEvolution of the average avalanche shape with the universality class
A multitude of systems ranging from the Barkhausen effect in ferromagnetic materials to plastic deformation and earthquakes respond to slow external driving by exhibiting intermittent, scale-free avalanche dynamics or crackling noise. The avalanches are power-law distributed in size, and have a typical average shape: these are the two most important signatures of avalanching systems. Here we sh...
متن کاملWarped infinitely divisible cascades: beyond power laws
We address the definitions and synthesis of stochastic processes which possess warped scaling laws that depart from power law behaviors in a controlled manner. We define warped infinitely divisible cascading (IDC) noise, motion and random walk. We provide a theoretical derivation of the scaling behavior of the moments of their increments. We provide numerical simulations of a warped log-Normal ...
متن کاملUniversality laws in coagulation
We show that the process of irreversible, kinetic colloid aggregation exhibits universal behavior, independent of the detailed chemical nature of the colloidal particles. Modem methods of statistical physics, applied to a kinetic growth process, provide a good basis to model the observed behavior. Two limiting regimes of colloid aggregation are identified: rapid aggregation, limited solely by t...
متن کاملThe power of power laws and an
Although already defined in 1926 by A. Lotka, power laws are becoming more and more important since they have been found valid in social networks such as the Internet. In this paper we prove some unique properties of power laws. We show that they characterise functions with the scale-free property (also called self-similarity property) as well as functions with the product property. They also h...
