Pattern formation in growing sandpiles with multiple sources or sinks
Adding sand grains at a single site in Abelian sandpile models produces beautiful but complex patterns. We study the effect of sink sites on such patterns. Sinks change the scaling of the diameter of the pattern with the number N of sand grains added. For example, in two dimensions, in presence of a sink site, the diameter of the pattern grows as √ (N/ logN) for large N , whereas it grows as √ ...
متن کاملPattern Formation in Growing Sandpiles
The topic of Pattern Formation in Growing Sandpiles was first looked at in the 1980’s through a model of sand being added to a two dimensional system at a constant rate.[1] How this sand creates patterns of inactivity and unpredictability is an interesting natural phenomena. The Abelian Sandpile model is one model created to model these patterns, showing that the ending stable state of the mode...
متن کاملTransport in networks with multiple sources and sinks
We investigate the electrical current and flow (number of parallel paths) between two sets of n sources and n sinks in complex networks. We derive analytical formulas for the average current and flow as a function of n. We show that for small n, increasing n improves the total transport in the network, while for large n bottlenecks begin to form. For the case of flow, this leads to an optimal n...
متن کاملInefficiency in Networks with Multiple Sources and Sinks
We study the problem of optimizing traffic in decentralized transportation networks, where the cost of a link depends on its congestion. If users of a transportation network are permitted to choose their own routes, they generally try to minimize their personal travel time. In the absence of centralized coordination, such a behavior can be inefficient for society and even for each individual us...
