Colloquium: Criticality and dynamical scaling in living systems
MA Munoz - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2018 - APS
A celebrated and controversial hypothesis suggests that some biological systems—parts,
aspects, or groups of them—may extract important functional benefits from operating at the …

Universal scaling behavior of non-equilibrium phase transitions
S Lübeck - International Journal of Modern Physics B, 2004 - World Scientific
Non-equilibrium critical phenomena have attracted a lot of research interest in the recent
decades. Similar to equilibrium critical phenomena, the concept of universality remains the …

Feedback mechanisms for self-organization to the edge of a phase transition
Scale-free outbursts of activity are commonly observed in physical, geological, and
biological systems. The idea of self-organized criticality (SOC), introduced back in 1987 by …

Self-organization without conservation: true or just apparent scale-invariance?
The existence of true scale-invariance in slowly driven models of self-organized criticality
without a conservation law, such as forest-fires or earthquake automata, is scrutinized in this …

Nonergodicity in the anisotropic dicke model
We study the ergodic-nonergodic transition in a generalized Dicke model with independent
corotating and counterrotating light-matter coupling terms. By studying level statistics, the …

Self-organized quantization and oscillations on continuous fixed-energy sandpiles
Atmospheric self-organization and activator-inhibitor dynamics in biology provide examples
of checkerboardlike spatiotemporal organization. We study a simple model for local …

Driving sandpiles to criticality and beyond
A popular theory of self-organized criticality relates driven dissipative systems to systems
with conservation. This theory predicts that the stationary density of the Abelian sandpile …

Approach to criticality in sandpiles
A popular theory of self-organized criticality predicts that the stationary density of the Abelian
sandpile model equals the threshold density of the corresponding fixed-energy sandpile. We …

Exact solution of the one-dimensional deterministic fixed-energy sandpile
L Dall'Asta - Physical review letters, 2006 - APS
By reason of the strongly nonergodic dynamical behavior, universality properties of
deterministic fixed-energy sandpiles are still an open and debated issue. We investigate the …
