Phys. Rev. E 74, 066109 (2006) [9 pages]Transient and stationary behavior of the Olami-Feder-Christensen modelReceived 27 July 2006; published 15 December 2006 Using long-term computer simulations and mean-field-like arguments, we investigate the transient time and the properties of the stationary state of the Olami-Feder-Christensen model as function of the coupling parameter α and the system size N. The most important findings are that the transient time increases with a nonuniversal exponent of the system size, and that the avalanche size distribution will not approach a power law with increasing system size. © 2006 The American Physical Society URL:
