Sandpiles with height restrictions.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study stochastic sandpile models with a height restriction in one and two dimensions. A site can topple if it has a height of two, as in Manna's model, but, in contrast to previously studied sandpiles, here the height (or number of particles per site), cannot exceed two. This yields a considerable simplification over the unrestricted case, in which the number of states per site is unbounded. Two toppling rules are considered: in one, the particles are redistributed independently, while the other involves some cooperativity. We study the fixed-energy system (no input or loss of particles) using cluster approximations and extensive simulations, and find that it exhibits a continuous phase transition to an absorbing state at a critical value zeta(c) of the particle density. The critical exponents agree with those of the unrestricted Manna sandpile.

Generalized Manna Sandpile Model with Height Restrictions
Sandpile models with conserved number of particles (also called fixed energy sandpiles) may undergo phase transitions between active and absorbing states. We generalize the Manna sandpile model with fixed number of particles, introducing a parameter −1≤ λ≤ 1 related to the toppling of particles from active sites to its first neighbors. In particular, we discuss a model with height restrictions,...
متن کاملHot Sandpiles Typeset Using Revt E X
A temperature-like parameter is introduced in ordinary sandpiles models. A temperature dependent probability distribution is assigned for the sand toppling on sites of any height. In mean eld theory criticality is obtained for all the values of temperature and no characteristic avalanche size appears. Numerical simulations supports the existence of criticality at any temperature with apparently...
متن کاملAbsorbing-state phase transitions in fixed-energy sandpiles
We study sandpile models as closed systems, with the conserved energy density zeta playing the role of an external parameter. The critical energy density zeta(c) marks a nonequilibrium phase transition between active and absorbing states. Several fixed-energy sandpiles are studied in extensive simulations of stationary and transient properties, as well as the dynamics of roughening in an interf...
متن کاملGrowth Rates and Explosions in Sandpiles
We study the abelian sandpile growth model, where n particles are added at the origin on a stable background configuration in Z. Any site with at least 2d particles then topples by sending one particle to each neighbor. We find that with constant background height h ≤ 2d − 2, the diameter of the set of sites that topple has order n. This was previously known only for h < d. Our proof uses a str...
متن کاملOn Computing Fixed Points for Generalized Sandpiles
We prove fixed points results for sandpiles starting with arbitrary initial conditions. We give an effective algorithm for computing such fixed points, and we refine it in the particular case of SPM.
