Universal patterns in sound amplitudes of songs and music genres

TL;DR: A universal form of distribution that agrees well with a one-parameter stretched Gaussian is suggested, and it is argued that this parameter can give information on music complexity, and consequently it helps classify songs as well as music genres.

Self-organization without conservation: true or just apparent scale-invariance?

TL;DR: It is shown on general grounds that non-conserving dynamics does not lead to bona fide criticality and is proposed to call this self-organized quasi-criticality (SOqC), which will help to elucidate the confusing and contradictory literature in this field.

Self-organized criticality in a fibre-bundle-type model

TL;DR: In this paper, the dynamics of a fiber-bundle-type model with equal load sharing rule is numerically studied, where the system, formed by N elements, is driven by a slow increase of the load upon it which is removed in a novel way through internal transfers to the elements broken during avalanches.

The origin of power-law distributions in self-organized criticality

C.B. Yang
- 22 Oct 2004 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the origin of power-law distributions in self-organized criticality by treating the variation of the number of active sites in the system as a stochastic process.

Sandpile transience on the grid is polynomially bounded

TL;DR: It is proved that within a polynomial (in n) number of steps, one necessarily reaches a recurrent configuration regardless of the choice of sites where the grains are dropped, adding credence to the common notion that "recurrence" represents "longterm behavior" of the system.
