Self–organized criticality due to a separation of energy scales
Certain systems with slow driving and avalanche–like dissipation events are naturally close to a critical point when the ratio of two energy scales is large. The first energy scale is the threshold above which an avalanche is triggered, the second scale is the threshold above which a site is affected by an avalanche. I present results of computer simulations, and a mean–field theory. PACS numbe...
متن کاملElectron as Spatiotemporal Complexity due to Self-Organized Criticality
The electron, which has been pictured as an elementary particle ever since J.J. Thomson’s e/m-measurement in 1897, and the relativistic motion of which is described by the Dirac equation, is discussed in the light of the recent progress made in Science of Complex Systems. Theoretical arguments and experimental evidences are presented which show that such an electron exhibits characteristic prop...
متن کاملPaths to Self-Organized Criticality
We present a pedagogical introduction to self-organized criticality (SOC), unraveling its connections with nonequilibrium phase transitions. There are several paths from a conventional critical point to SOC. They begin with an absorbing-state phase transition (directed percolation is a familiar example), and impose supervision or driving on the system; two commonly used methods are extremal dyn...
متن کاملSelf-Organized Criticality
The causes and possible relations between the abundance of fractal structures and 1/f signals found in nature have puzzled scientists for years. Based on observations of computer simulations of the cellular automata sandpile model, the term, self-organized criticality (SOC) was invented by theoretical physicists Bak and coworkers (1987) and was used to explain a universal dynamic organizing pro...
متن کاملSelf-organized criticality
We study the concept of the self-organized criticality (SOC) and its application to a wide range of scientific problems with very different backgrounds. In particular, we discuss the Bak-TangWiesenfeld sandpile model which displays SOC behavior and by computing the critical exponent for the two-dimensional model we find the agreement with the known result. Finally, we provide a new example of Z...
