Phase transitions in dissipative quantum systems are intriguing because they are induced
by the interplay between coherent quantum and incoherent classical fluctuations. Here, we …

As we have seen in the previous chapter, the driven dynamics of heterogeneous systems
often proceeds by random jumps called avalanches, which display scale-free statistics. This …

A deep understanding of the dynamical properties of natural time-varying images is
essential for interpreting how they are efficiently processed in the brain. Here we examine …

One of the references of avalanche models studied for their critical properties is Directed
Percolation (DP). DP is the paradigmatic example of dynamical phase transitions into …

We study non-uniform percolation in a two-dimensional cluster growth model with multiple
seeds. With increasing concentration of seeds, the percolation threshold is found to increase …

Il y a dans la nature de nombreux exemples de systèmes qui répondent à un apport continu
d'énergie par de brusques libérations de cette énergie accumulée, sous la forme …

There are many natural occurrences of systems that upon a continuous input of energy,
react by sudden releases of the accumulated energy in the form of discrete events, that are …
