We prove that the set of quadratic growths achievable by integer superharmonic functions on the F -lattice, a periodic subgraph of the square lattice with oriented edges, has the structure of an overlapping circle packing. The proof recursively constructs a distinct pair of recurrent functions for each rational point on a hyperbola. This proves a conjecture of Smart (2013) and completely describes the scaling limit of the Abelian sandpile on the F -lattice.

We show that the patterns in the Abelian sandpile are stable. The proof combines the structure theory for the patterns with the regularity machinery for non-divergence form elliptic equations. The

It is proved that the identity on grids of size p × q with p > √2q can be decomposed into three parts and the identity of this group if the automaton is defined on rectangular grids is studied.
Mathematical aspects of the abelian sandpile model
In 1988, Bak, Tang and Wiesenfeld (BTW) introduced a lattice model of what they called “self-organized criticality”. Since its appearance, this model has been studied intensively, both in the physics
