Biotic Control of Earth's Climate: An Ecohydrological Perspective on the Phanerozoic Temperature Record
Allen Hunt, Didier Sornette
We propose a unified framework linking silicate weathering feedbacks, ecohydrological optimality and vegetation-climate interactions to explain Earth's Global Average Temperature e…
Mastering Uncertainty: From Understanding to Prediction
Didier Sornette
Uncertainty defines our age: it shapes climate, finance, technology, and society, yet remains profoundly misunderstood. We oscillate between the illusion of control and the paralys…
Pregnancy as a dynamical paradox: robustness, control and birth onset
Giuseppe Maria Ferro, Andrea Somazzi, Didier Sornette
The timing of human labor is among the most critical determinants of neonatal survival, yet the mechanisms that govern the transition from uterine quiescence to coordinated contrac…
Fokker-Planck equation of distributions of financial returns and power laws
D. Sornette
Our purpose is to relate the Fokker-Planck formalism proposed by [Friedrich et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 5224 (2000)] for the distribution of stock market returns to the empiricall…
Re-examination of log-periodicity observed in the seismic precursors of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake
Y. Huang, H. Saleur, D. Sornette
Based on several empirical evidence, a series of papers has advocated the concept that seismicity prior to a large earthquake can be understood in terms of the statistical physics…
Critical Ruptures
Anders Johansen, Didier Sornette
The fracture of materials is a catastrophic phenomenon of considerable technological and scientific importance. Here, we analysed experiments designed for industrial applications i…
Artifactual log-periodicity in finite size data: Relevance for earthquake aftershocks
Y. Huang, A. Johansen, M. W. Lee +2
The recently proposed discrete scale invariance and its associated log-periodicity are an elaboration of the concept of scale invariance in which the system is scale invariant only…
Linear stochastic dynamics with nonlinear fractal properties
D. Sornette
Stochastic processes with multiplicative noise have been studied independently in several different contexts over the past decades. We focus on the regime, found for a generic set…
