Self organized criticality on complex networks sandpile model scaling and universality

Abstract

Sandpile is a generic model to study self organized criticality SOC which provides a general mechanism for the emergence of complex behavior in many physio hemical processes On the other hand the topology of many interacting systems can be modeled by complex networks which are usually compact highly disordered and maximally heterogeneous structures The situation gets more intriguing when a complex dynamical process like SOC occurs on the top of a complex network In order to investigate s
