Abstract

The avalanche statistics in a stochastic sandpile model where toppling takes place with a probability p is investigated. The limiting case p=1 corresponds to the Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld (BTW) model with deterministic toppling rule. Based on the moment analysis of the distribution of avalanche sizes we conclude that for 0
