Self-organized criticality in non-conservative models

Author

  • Bak, Per

Abstract

Some recent results on non-conservative models of self-organized criticality are reviewed and discussed. A class of deterministic models introduced by Olami, Feder and Christensen exhibits 1f noise with an exponent which depends on the degree of conservation. The “Game of Life”, a cellular automation mimicking a society of interacting organisms, also appears to evolve to a critical state, with avalanches obeying finite size scaling.
