Abstract
A large class of interacting systems in Nature respond to externally applied driving in an intermittent and heterogeneous manner. Typically, the statistics of sizes of the observed bursts of activity, or avalanches, can be described by scale free power law distributions. Also the temporal correlations associated to such an activity time series are of interest, and can be studied by computing the power spectrum of the time series. This power spectrum typically scales as a power law of the frequency, 1⁄>fDescription
