Abstract
In this work, the authors scrutinize the theory of self-organized bistability which is the counterpart of self-organized criticality for systems becoming self-regulated to the edge of a discontinuous phase transition, and show that this theory, if some of its stringent conditions are relaxed, may explain the coexistence of avalanches and oscillations.
