Large-Scale Synchrony In Weakly Interacting Automata, Eric J. Friedman, Adam S. Landsberg

WM Keck Science Faculty Papers

We study the behavior of two spatially distributed (sandpile) models which are weakly linked with one another. Using a Monte Carlo implementation of the renormalization-group and algebraic methods, we describe how large-scale correlations emerge between the two systems, leading to synchronized behavior.
