Absence of self-organized criticality in a random-neighbor version of the OFC stick-slip model
We report some numerical simulations to investigate the existence of a
self-organized critical (SOC) state in a random-neighbor version of the OFC
model for a range of parameters corresponding to a non-conservative case. In
contrast to a recent work, we do not find any evidence of SOC. We use a more
realistic distribution of energy among sites to perform some analytical
calculations that agree with our numerical conclusions.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, submitted to Physica
