Abstract

Description

The relaxation in complex systems is in general nonexponential. After an initial rapid decay the system relax slowly following a long time tail. In the present paper a sandpile modelation of the relaxation in complex systems is analysed. Complexity is introduced by a process of avalanches in the Bethe lattice and a feedback mechanism which leads to slower decay with increasing time. In this way, some features of relaxation in complex systems: long time tails relaxation, aging, and fractal distribution of characteristic times, are obtained by simple computer simulations.
