概要:Since Self-Organised Criticality (SOC) was introduced in 1987, both
the nature of self-organisation and criticality remains controversial.
Recent observations on rain precipitation and brain activity suggest
that real systems display a dynamics that is similar to the one
observed in SOC systems, making a better understanding of such systems
more urgent. Here we focus on the Drossel-Schwable forest-fire model
(FFM) of SOC and show that despite the model has been proved to not
being critical, it nevertheless exhibits a behaviour that justifies
the introduction of a new kind of weak criticality. (in collaboration
