We introduce and study a dynamic transport model exhibiting Self-Organized Criticality. The novel concepts of our model are the probabilistic propagation of activity and unbiased random repartition of energy among the active site and its nearest neighbors. For space dimensionality d \_> 2 we argue t

In this paper we briefly review few self-organized critical (SOC) models of the phenomenon of earthquakes. For example, the two-dimensional non-conservative SOC model of Olami, Feder and Christensen (OFC) has been described. It is known that the effect of the fixed boundary on this model is very str
We discover a broad universality class in self-organized critical phenomena. This universality class includes a model for dispersive transport in rice piles, the depinning transition of an elastic interface that is dragged at one end through a random medium, and the purely deterministic Burridge-Kno
The spatial distribution of low-canopy gaps in the Barro Colorado Island rainforest (Panama) is shown to exhibit fractal properties. A simple cellular automata model (the ''Forest Game'') was constructed in order to simulate the gap dynamics of such forests as well as the observed macroscopic spatia
