The role of intervention mechanisms on a self-organized system: dynamics of a sandpile with site reinforcement
P B Sy,

Abstract:We revisit the sandpile model and examine the effect of introducing site-dependent thresholds that increase over time based on the generated avalanche size. This is inspired by the simplest means of introducing stability into a self-organized system: the locations of collapse are repaired and reinforced. Statistically, for the case of finite driving times, we observe that the site-dependent reinforcements decrease the occurrence of very large avalanches, leading to an effective global stabilization. Interestin… Show more
