Self-organized criticality is an important framework for understanding the emergence of scale-free natural phenomena. Cellular automata provide simple interesting models in which to study self-organized criticality. We consider the dynamics of a new class of cellular automata which are constructed a

Self-organized criticality (SOC) occurs in systems consisting of a substrate or medium which can be locally stressed to a critical state. When the critical threshold is exceeded, the stress is distributed to the neighborhood around the locale, which can lead to critical states in the neighboring loc
The Fourier power spectra are examined for the Game of Life and its variants. The results show that only the Game of Life exhibits 1/f fluctuation. By means of observing patterns and measuring entropy and difference pattern spreading rate, we conclude that the Game of Life only belongs to Wolfram's
A new mean-field approximation is proposed for the sandpile model of Bak, Tang and Wiesenfeld and the distribution of heights in the self-organized critical state is calculated. We treat several series of successive topples to approximate various avalanches. In contrast to the previous mean-field th
