Sandpile Model with Activity Inhibition

الأصل · EN

A new sandpile model is studied in which bonds of the system are inhibited for activity after a certain number of transmission of grains. This condition impels an unstable sand column to distribute grains only to those neighbours which have toppled less than m times. In this non-Abelian model grains effectively move faster than the ordinary diffusion (super-diffusion). A novel system size dependent cross-over from Abelian sandpile behaviour to a new critical behaviour is observed for all values of the parameter m.
