Computational Complexity of Avalanches in the Kadanoff two-dimensional Sandpile Model
In this paper we prove that the avalanche problem for the Kadanoff sandpile model (KSPM) is P-complete for two-dimensions. Our proof is based on a reduction from the monotone circuit value problem by building logic gates and wires which work with configurations in KSPM. The proof is also related to the known prediction problem for sandpile which is in NC for one-dimensional sandpiles and is P-complete for dimension 3 or greater. The computational complexity of the prediction problem remains open for two-dimensional sandpiles.
