BTW 1D sandpile: critical slope z_c = 2, deterministic linear avalanches

Layer 1 — Physicsin the self-organization subtree

Exact result for the 1D abelian sandpile. The toppling rule 'if z_i ≥ z_c, move z_c grains: one to each neighbor and z_c-2 to ground (z_c = # of neighbors = 2 in 1D)' defines the critical slope. In a 1D open chain of length L the only…
