Using simple scaling arguments and two-dimensional numerical simulations of a granular gas excited by vibrating one of the container boundaries, we study a double limit of small 1-r and large L, where r is the restitution coefficient and L the size of the container. We show that if the particle...

Far-from-equilibrium models of interacting particles in one dimension are used as a basis for modelling the stock-market fluctuations. Particle types and their positions are interpreted as buy and sel orders placed on a price axis in the order book. We revisit some modifications of well-known...

We study the intermittent behavior of the energy decay and the linear magnetic response of a glassy system during isothermal aging after a deep thermal quench, using the Edward-Anderson spin glass model as a paradigmatic example. The large intermittent changes in the two observables occur in a...
