New Evidence of Discrete Scale Invariance in the Energy Dissipation of Three-Dimensional Turbulence: Correlation Approach and Direct Spectral Detection

W. -X. Zhou, D. Sornette, V. Pisarenko

We extend the analysis of [Zhou and Sornette, Physica D 165, 94-125, 2002] showing statistically significant log-periodic corrections to scaling in the moments of the energy dissip…

Slider-Block Friction Model for Landslides: Application to Vaiont and La Clapiere Landslides

A. Helmstetter, D. Sornette, J. -R. Grasso +3

Accelerating displacements preceding some catastrophic landslides have been found empirically to follow a time-to-failure power law, corresponding to a finite-time singularity of t…

Fractal Plate Tectonics

D. Sornette, V. F. Pisarenko

We analyze in details the statistical significance of the claim by Bird [2002] of a power law distribution of plate areas covering the Earth and confirm that the power law with exp…

Rigorous statistical detection and characterization of a deviation from the Gutenberg-Richter distribution above magnitude 8 in subduction zones

V. F. Pisarenko, D. Sornette

We present a quantitative statistical test for the presence of a crossover c0 in the Gutenberg-Richter distribution of earthquake seismic moments, separating the usual power law re…
