A semi-phenomenological approach to explain the event-size distribution of the Drossel-Schwabl forest-fire model
We present a novel approach to explain the complex scaling behavior of the Drossel-Schwabl forest-fire model in two dimensions. Clusters of trees are characterized by their size and perimeter only, whereas spatial correlations are neglected. Coalescence of clusters is restricted to clusters of simil...
