Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Self-Organised Criticality (SOC) has been proposed as a possible explanation of the widespread occurrence of fractals and 1/f-noise in natural systems. Several models have been introduced which show SOC behaviour., but a clear understanding of what are the foundamental mechanisms lending a model to be self-organised critical is still missing. In this project we intend to investigate the necessary conditions for a model to exhibit SOC behaviour. To this end the implicit assumptions in original models need to be subjected to intense scrutiny. The project involves extensive computer simulations, dynamical re-normalisation group analysis of certain stochastic differential equations and exact solutions of models defined on deterministic fractal lattices.
