Abstract

We turn the stochastic critical forest-fire model introduced by Drossel and Schwabl [Phys. Rev. Lett. 69, 1629 (1992)] into a completely deterministic threshold model. This model has many features in common with sandpile and earthquake models of self-organized criticality. Our deterministic forest-fire model exhibits in detail the same macroscopic statistical properties as the original Drossel-Schwabl model. We use the deterministic model to elaborate on the relation between forest-fire, sandpile, and earthquake models.
