Transient and Stationary Properties of the Olami-Feder-Christensen Earthquake Model in One and Two Dimensions

The earthquake model by Olami, Feder, and Christensen (OFC) is one of the most striking examples of models that are discussed in the context of self-organized criticality. A key feature of self-organized critical systems is the size distribution of avalanche-like events according to a power law, $n(...
