Large-Scale Synchrony in Weakly Interacting Automata
arXiv:cond-mat/0102388 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.63.051303
Abstract
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.
