dc.descriptionWe develop a dynamical system approach for the Zhang's model of Self-Organized Criticality, for which the dynamics can be described either in terms of Iterated Function Systems, or as a piecewise hyperbolic dynamical system of skew-product type. In this setting we describe the SOC attractor, and discuss its fractal structure. We show how the Lyapunov exponents, the Hausdorff dimensions, and the system size are related to the probability distribution of the avalanche size, via the Ledrappier-Young formula.
