Various functions of a network of excitable units can be enhanced if thenetwork is in the `critical regime', where excitations are, on average, neitherdamped nor amplified. An important question is how can such networksself-organize to operate in the critical regime. Previously it was shown thatregulation via resource transport on a secondary network can robustly maintainthe primary network dynamics in a balanced state where activity doesn't grow ordecay. Here we show that this inter-network regulation process robustlyproduces a power-law distribution of activity avalanches, as observed inexperiments, over ranges of model parameters spanning orders of magnitude. Wealso show that the resource transport over the secondary network protects thesystem against the destabilizing effect of local variations in parameters andheterogeneity in network structure. For homogeneous networks, we derive areduced 3-dimensional map which reproduces the behavior of the full system.

Dynamic regulation of resource transport induces criticality in interdependent networks of excitable units
