In this work we study the complexity of the three-dimensional sandpile avalanches triggered by the addition of two critical configurations. We prove that the algorithmic problem c...
Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...
