Description

A modified Olami-Feder-Christensen model of self-organized criticality on generalized Barabasi-Albert (GBA) scale-free networks is investigated. We find that our model displays power-law behavior and the avalanche dynamical behavior is sensitive to the topological structure of networks. Furthermore, the exponent τ of the model depends on b, which weights the distance in comparison with the degree in the GBA network evolution.
