Driving Sandpiles to Criticality and Beyond

A popular theory of self-organized criticality relates driven dissipative systems to systems with conservation. This theory predicts that the stationary density of the Abelian sandpile model equals the threshold density of the fixed-energy sandpile. We refute this prediction for a wide variety of un...
