Relaxation oscillations in model sandpiles
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a simple one-dimensional sandpile model that undergoes relaxation oscillations. A single model can account for self-organized critical behavior and relaxation oscillations, depending on the manner in which it is driven, mirroring the experimental situation for real sandpiles. The relaxation oscillations are robust with respect to minor modifications of the avalanche rules, including the application of probabilistic rules.

Aging and Lévy Distributions in Sandpiles
Aging in complex systems is studied via the sandpile model. Relaxation of avalanches in sandpiles is observed to depend on the time elapsed since the beginning of the relaxation. Lévy behavior is observed in the distribution of characteristic times. In this way, aging and self-organized criticality appear to be closely related.
متن کاملNonuniversal exponents in sandpiles with stochastic par - ticle number transfer
– We study fixed density sandpiles in which the number of particles transferred to a neighbor on relaxing an active site is determined stochastically by a parameter p. Using an argument, the critical density at which an active-absorbing transition occurs is found exactly. We study the critical behavior numerically and find that the exponents associated with both static and time-dependent quanti...
متن کاملStudy of Oscillatory Processes in the One Model of Electrochemical Reactor
The paper deals with the study of the features of oscillatory processes in the electrocatalytic reaction mechanism underlying the electrochemical reactor. The conditions for the existence of several types of oscillations (small amplitude harmonic oscillations, relaxation oscillations and oscillations of transitional type) is obtained.
متن کاملRelaxation Oscillations in a Class of Delay Differential Equations
We study a class of delay differential equations which have been used to model hematological stem cell regulation and dynamics. Under certain circumstances the model exhibits self-sustained oscillations, with periods which can be significantly longer than the basic cell cycle time. We show that the long periods in the oscillations occur when the cell generation rate is small, and we provide an ...
