Self-organized criticality in simulated correlated systems
In this paper we study the influence of spatio-temporal correlations on the dynamic runtime behavior of the optimistic parallel Time Warp simulation method. By means of Ising spin simulation, we show experimentally that the probability distribution of the number of rolled back events behaves as a power-law distribution over a large range of sub-critical Ising temperatures and decays exponential...
متن کاملSelf-Organized Criticality in Nonconserved Systems.
The origin of self-organized criticality in a model without conservation law (Olami, Feder, and Christensen, Phys. Rev. Lett. 68, 1244 (1992)) is studied. The homogeneous system with periodic boundary condition is found to be periodic and neutrally stable. A change to open boundaries results in the invasion of the interior by a “self-organized” region. The mechanism for the self-organization is...
متن کاملSelf-organized Criticality in Living Systems
We suggest that ensembles of self-replicating entities such as biological systems naturally evolve to a self-organized critical state in which fluctuations, as well as waiting times between phase transitions (“epochs”), are distributed according to a l/f” power law. Such distributions can explain observed frequency distributions in extinction events as well as fractal population structures, and...
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...
