A way to synchronize models with seismic faults for earthquake forecasting: Insights from a simple stochastic model
Alvaro Gonzalez, Miguel Vazquez-Prada, Javier B. Gomez +1
Numerical models are starting to be used for determining the future behaviour of seismic faults and fault networks. Their final goal would be to forecast future large earthquakes.…
Fitness for Synchronization of Network Motifs
Yamir Moreno, Miguel Vazquez-Prada, Amalio F. Pacheco
We study the phase synchronization of Kuramoto's oscillators in small parts of networks known as motifs. We first report on the system dynamics for the case of a scale-free network…
Asymptotic Behavior of a Model of Characteristic Earthquakes and its Implications for Regional Seismicity
R. Lopez-Ruiz, M. Vazquez-Prada, J. B. Gomez +1
The recently introduced Minimalist Model [Vazquez- Prada et al., 2002] of characteristic earthquakes provides a simple representation of the seismicity originated in a sin- gle fau…
Error Diagrams and Temporal Correlations in a Fracture Model with Characteristic and Power-Law Distributed Avalanches
Yamir Moreno, Miguel Vazquez-Prada, Javier B. Gomez +1
Forecasting failure events is one of the most important problems in fracture mechanics and related sciences. In this paper, we use the Molchan scheme to investigate the error diagr…
