نویسنده
چکیده
We demonstrate the phenomenon of self organized criticality (SOC) in a simple random walk model described by a random walk of a myopic ant. The ant acts on the underlying lattice aiming at uniform digging of the surface but is unaffected by the underlying lattice. In 1-d, 2-d and 3-d we have explored this model and have obtained power laws in the time intervals between consecutive events of ‘digging’. Being a simple random walk, the power laws in space translate to power laws in time. We also study the finite size scaling of asymptotic scale invariant process as well as dynamic scaling in this system. This model differs qualitatively from the cascade models of SOC.

A new model of self-organized criticality is proposed. An algebra of operators is introduced which is similar to that used for the Abelian sandpile model. The structure of the configurational space is determined and the number of recurrent states is found. Since the introduction of self-organized criticality (SOC) [1], there has been considerable interest in the study of cellular automata which...

An Abelian sandpile model is considered on the Husimi lattice of triangles with an arbitrary coordination number q. Exact expressions for the distribution of height probabilities in the Self-Organized Critical state are derived.

The universal behaviour of the short-time dynamics of the three state Potts model in two dimensions at criticality is investigated with Monte Carlo methods. The initial increase of the order is observed. The new dynamic exponent θ as well as exponent z and β/ν are determined. The measurements are carried out in the very beginning of the time evolution. The spatial correlation length is found to...

We calculate time correlation functions in the Bak-Sneppen model (Phys. Rev. Lett. 71 4083 (1993)), a model showing self-organised criticality. For a random neighbour version of the model, analytical results are presented, while on a one dimensional lattice we give numerical results. The power spectrum of these correlation functions shows 1/f-behaviour in both cases.
