Both the deterministic and stochastic sandpile models are studied on the percolation backbone, a random fractal, generated on a square lattice in $2$-dimensions. In spite of the underline random structure of the backbone, the deterministic Bak Tang Wiesenfeld (BTW) model preserves its positive time auto-correlation and multifractal behaviour due to its complete toppling balance, whereas the critical properties of the stochastic sandpile model (SSM) still exhibits finite size scaling (FSS) as it exhibits on the regular lattices. Analysing the topography of the avalanches, various scaling relations are developed. While for the SSM, the extended set of critical exponents obtained is found to obey various the scaling relation in terms of the fractal dimension $d_f^B$ of the backbone, whereas the deterministic BTW model, on the other hand, does not. As the critical exponents of the SSM defined on the backbone are related to $d_f^B$, the backbone fractal dimension, they are found to be entirely different from those of the SSM defined on the regular lattice as well as on other deterministic fractals. The SSM on the percolation backbone is found to obey FSS but belongs to a new stochastic universality class.

We study the steady state of the abelian sandpile models with stochastic toppling rules. The particle addition operators commute with each other, but in general these operators need not be diagonalizable. We use their abelian algebra to determine their eigenvalues, and the Jordan block structure. These are then used to determine the probability of different configurations in the steady state. We illustrate this procedure by explicitly determining the numerically exact steady state for a one dimensional example, for systems of size $le12$, and also study the density profile in the steady state.
This paper is devoted to the recent advances in self-organized criticality (SOC), and the concepts. The paper contains three parts; in the first part we present some examples of SOC systems, in the second part we add some comments concerning its relation to logarithmic conformal field theory, and in the third part we report on the application of SOC concepts to various systems ranging from cumulus clouds to 2D electron gases.
We revisit the question whether the critical behavior of sandpile models with sticky grains is in the directed percolation universality class. Our earlier theoretical arguments in favor, supported by evidence from numerical simulations [ Phys. Rev. Lett., {bf 89} (2002) 104303], have been disputed by Bonachela et al. [Phys. Rev. E {bf 74} (2004) 050102] for sandpiles with no preferred direction. We discuss possible reasons for the discrepancy. Our new results of longer simulations of the one-dimensional undirected model fully support our earlier conclusions.
A dissipative sandpile model (DSM) is constructed and studied on small world networks (SWN). SWNs are generated adding extra links between two arbitrary sites of a two dimensional square lattice with different shortcut densities $phi$. Three different regimes are identified as regular lattice (RL) for $philesssim 2^{-12}$, SWN for $2^{-12}<phi< 0.1$ and random network (RN) for $phige 0.1$. In the RL regime, the sandpile dynamics is characterized by usual Bak, Tang, Weisenfeld (BTW) type correlated scaling whereas in the RN regime it is characterized by the mean field (MF) scaling. On SWN, both the scaling behaviors are found to coexist. Small compact avalanches below certain characteristic size $s_c$ are found to belong to the BTW universality class whereas large, sparse avalanches above $s_c$ are found to belong to the MF universality class. A scaling theory for the coexistence of two scaling forms on SWN is developed and numerically verified. Though finite size scaling (FSS) is not valid for DSM on RL as well as on SWN, it is found to be valid on RN for the same model. FSS on RN is appeared to be an outcome of super diffusive sand transport and uncorrelated toppling waves.
A dissipative stochastic sandpile model is constructed and studied on small world networks in one and two dimensions with different shortcut densities $phi$, where $phi=0$ represents regular lattice and $phi=1$ represents random network. The effect of dimension, network topology and specific dissipation mode (bulk or boundary) on the the steady state critical properties of non-dissipative and dissipative avalanches along with all avalanches are analyzed. Though the distributions of all avalanches and non-dissipative avalanches display stochastic scaling at $phi=0$ and mean-field scaling at $phi=1$, the dissipative avalanches display non trivial critical properties at $phi=0$ and $1$ in both one and two dimensions. In the small world regime ($2^{-12} le phi le 0.1$), the size distributions of different types of avalanches are found to exhibit more than one power law scaling with different scaling exponents around a crossover toppling size $s_c$. Stochastic scaling is found to occur for $s<s_c$ and the mean-field scaling is found to occur for $s>s_c$. As different scaling forms are found to coexist in a single probability distribution, a coexistence scaling theory on small world network is developed and numerically verified.
