Prabodh Shukla, Diana Thongjaomayum

TL;DR
This paper investigates the critical behavior of infinite avalanches in a nonequilibrium random-field Ising model on a dilute Bethe lattice, highlighting the importance of sites with coordination number four.
Contribution
It provides a detailed analysis of the critical behavior of infinite avalanches and clarifies previous inconsistent results within the model.
Findings
Sites with coordination number 4 are crucial for infinite avalanches.
The model's critical behavior is characterized on a dilute Bethe lattice.
Previous discrepancies in results are explained by the role of specific sites.
Abstract
Statistical mechanics of infinite avalanches is studied in the framework of nonequilibrium random-field Ising model. Critical behavior of the model on a random graph (dilute Bethe lattice) is analyzed in detail. We show that sites with a minimum coordination number 4 play a key role in the occurrence of infinite avalanches. Earlier results which did not seem to fit together very well are explained.
