On the Occurrence of Finite-Time-Singularities in Epidemic Models of Rupture, Earthquakes and Starquakes
D. Sornette, A. Helmstetter
We present a new kind of critical stochastic finite-time-singularity, relying on the interplay between long-memory and extreme fluctuations. We illustrate it on the well-establishe…

Mechanism for Powerlaws without Self-Organization
D. Sornette
A recent claim has been made in the journal Nature that there must be a self-regulation in the waiting times to see hospital consultants on the ground that the relative changes in…

Oscillatory Finite-Time Singularities in Finance, Population and Rupture
K. D. Ide, D. Sornette
We present a simple two-dimensional dynamical system where two nonlinear terms, exerting respectively positive feedback and reversal, compete to create a singularity in finite time…
