Transient and stationary behavior of the Olami-Feder-Christensen earthquake model
Abstract
Using long-term computer simulations and mean-field like arguments, we investigate the transient time and the properties of the stationary state of the Olami-Feder-Christensen earthquake model as function of the coupling parameter α and the system size N. The most important findings are that the transient time diverges nonanalytically when α approaches zero, and that the avalanche-size distribution will not approach a power law with increasing system size.
