We show that, in the one-dimensional case, a relaxation terminates after a finite number of steps. We present an experimental evidence suggesting that the number of such steps obeys a power law.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-03-22T14:23:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "one-dimensional tropical sandpile", "finite collection", "one-dimensional case", "relaxation terminates", "finite number" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
