Asymptotic behaviour of a one-dimensional avalanche model through a particular stochastic process

Abstract

In this paper we develop the study of a binary coagulation-fragmentation equation which describes the avalanches phenomena. We construct first an adapted stochastic process and obtain its behaviour to the equilibrium. Our model is based on self-organized critical (SOC) systems and in particular on a simple sand pile model introduced in Bressaud and Fournier, [BrFo 09]. Furthermore, we define a stochastic differential equation for this process and propose a numerical method in order to approximate the solution. The key point of our work is a new interpretation of the avalanches phenomena by handling stochastic differential equations with jumps and the analysis of the invariant behaviour of the stochastic process
