Continuously Varying Exponents in a Sandpile Model with Dissipation Near Surface

چکیده

We consider the directed Abelian sandpile model in the presence of sink sites whose density ft at depth t below the top surface varies as c t . For χ > 1 the disorder is irrelevant. For χ < 1, it is relevant and the model is no longer critical for any nonzero c. For χ = 1 the exponents of the avalanche distributions depend continuously on the amplitude c of the disorder. We calculate this dependence exactly, and verify the results with simulations.

0 Continuously varying exponents in a sandpile model with dissipation near surface

We consider the directed Abelian sandpile model in the presence of sink sites whose density ft at depth t below the top surface varies as c t . For χ > 1 the disorder is irrelevant. For χ < 1, it is relevant and the model is no longer critical for any nonzero c. For χ = 1 the exponents of the avalanche distributions depend continuously on the amplitude c of the disorder.

Effects of bulk dissipation on the critical exponents of a sandpile.

Bulk dissipation of a sandpile on a square lattice with the periodic boundary condition is investigated through a dissipating probability f during each toppling process. We find that the power-law behavior is broken for f>10(-1) and not evident for 10(-1)}>f>10(-2). In the range 10(-2)>or=f>or=10(-5), numerical simulations for the toppling size exponents of all, dissipative, and last waves have...

Self-organized branching processes: Avalanche models with dissipation.

We explore, in the mean-field approximation, robustness with respect to dissipation of self-organized criticality in sandpile models. To this end, we generalize a recently introduced self-organized branching process, and show that the model self-organizes not into a critical state but rather into a subcritical state: when dissipation is present, the dynamical fixed point does not coincide with ...

SOC in a Class of Sandpile Models with Stochastic Dynamics

We have studied one-dimensional cellular automata with updating rules depending stochastically on the difference of the heights of neighbouring cells. The probability for toppling depends on a parameter λ which goes to one with increasing slope, i.e. the dynamics can be varied continuously. We have investigated the scaling properties of the model using finite-size scaling analysis. A robust pow...

Self-organized criticality in sandpile models

The sandpile model, introduced in 1987, was the first model to exhibit self-organized critical behavior, that is, the system moved towards its critical point without the need to tune any adjustable external parameter. In this paper, we look at the why these models exhibit such non-intuitive behavior. We also look at some of the phenomenology near the critical point, such as scaling laws and cri...
