Olami-Feder-Christensen Model (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In physics, in the area of dynamical systems, the Olami-Feder-Christensen model is an earthquake model conjectured to be an example of self-organized criticality where local exchange dynamics are not conservative. Despite the original claims of the others, the model does not display self organized criticality. The system behaviour reproduces some empirical laws that earthquakes follow (such as the Gutenberg-Richter law and Omori's Law).
