Abstract: | Several relations between the structure of stable recurrent states and the statistics of avalanches in a one-dimensional sandpile automaton are derived and numerically verified. In particular, it is shown that the average avalanche size is determined by the second rather than the first moment of the distribution of trough distances. The two moments scale differently with system size, which implies multiscaling for the distribution. Moreover, the scaling of edge events (avalanches which fall off the pile) is shown to differ from that of bulk events (avalanches which remain on the pile). |
