Self-organized criticality driven by deterministic rules

Year: 1997

Type: article

Abstract: We have investigated the essential ingredients allowing a system to show self-organized criticality (SOC) in its collective behavior. Using the Bak-Sneppen model of biological evolution as our paradigm, we show that the random microscopic rules of update can be effectively substituted with a chaotic map without changing the universality class. Using periodic maps SOC is preserved, but in a different universality class, as long as the spectrum of frequencies is broad enough.
