Absence of self-organized criticality in a random-neighbor version of the OFC stick-slip model

Abstract

We report some numerical simulations to investigate the existence of a self-organized critical (SOC) state in a random-neighbor version of the OFC model for a range of parameters corresponding to a non-conservative case. In contrast to a recent work, we do not find any evidence of SOC. We use a more realistic distribution of energy among sites to perform some analytical calculations that agree with our numerical conclusions.
