Self-organized criticality: An explanation of the 1/f noise

  • 1. Physics Department, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, New York 11973

Description

We show that dynamical systems with spatial degrees of freedom naturally evolve into a self-organized critical point. Flicker noise, or 1/f noise, can be identified with the dynamics of the critical state. This picture also yields insight into the origin of fractal objects
