β¦ Synopsis
Avalanche dynamics is an indispensable feature of complex systems. Here, we study the self-organized critical dynamics of avalanches on scale-free networks with degree exponent through the Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld (BTW) sandpile model. The threshold height of a node i is set as k 1-Γ i with 0 6 Γ Β‘ 1, where ki is the degree of node i. Using the branching process approach, we obtain the avalanche size and the duration distribution of sand toppling, which follow power-laws with exponents and , respectively. They are given as =( -2Γ)=( -1-Γ) and = ( -1 -Γ)=( -2) for Β‘ 3 -Γ, 3=2 and 2 for ΒΏ 3 -Γ, respectively. The power-law distributions are modiΓΏed by a logarithmic correction at = 3 -Γ.

Self-organized criticality (SOC) has been claimed to play an important role in many natural and social systems. In the present work we empirically investigate the relevance of this theory to stock-market dynamics. Avalanches in stock-market indices are identified using a multi-scale wavelet-filterin
In this paper, we propose a new dynamic traffic model (DTM) for routing choice behaviors (RCB) in which both topology structures and dynamical properties are considered to address the RCB problem by using numerical experiments. The phase transition from free flow to congestion is found by simulation
