Damage spreading in the 'sandpile' model of SOC

TL;DR

This paper investigates how damage propagates in the sandpile model of self-organized criticality, revealing power-law relationships between system size and damage metrics.

Contribution

It provides the first analysis of damage spreading dynamics and critical time scaling in the sandpile model of SOC.

Findings

Damage spreading follows power-law behavior.

Critical time scales with system size.

Number of damaged sites also exhibits power-law scaling.

Abstract

We have studied the damage spreading (defined in the text) in the 'sandpile' model of self organised criticality. We have studied the variations of the critical time (defined in the text) and the total number of sites damaged at critical time as a function of system size. Both shows the power law variation.
