Multifractality of Inverse Statistics of Exit Distances in 3D Fully Developed Turbulence
W. -X. Zhou, D. Sornette, W. -K. Yuan
The inverse structure functions of exit distances have been introduced as a novel diagnostic of turbulence which emphasizes the more laminar regions [1-4]. Using Taylor's frozen fi…
Power law distribution of seismic rates: theory and data
A. Saichev, D. Sornette
We report an empirical determination of the probability density functions P(r) of the number r of earthquakes in finite space-time windows for the California catalog, over fixed sp…
Endogenous versus Exogenous Origins of Crises
D. Sornette
Are large biological extinctions such as the Cretaceous/Tertiary KT boundary due to a meteorite, extreme volcanic activity or self-organized critical extinction cascades? Are comme…
Discrete Hierarchical Organization of Social Group Sizes
W. -X. Zhou, D. Sornette, R. A. Hill +1
The ``social brain hypothesis'' for the evolution of large brains in primates has led to evidence for the coevolution of neocortical size and social group sizes. Extrapolation of t…
Deviations of the distributions of seismic energies from the Gutenberg-Richter law
V. Pisarenko, D. Sornette, M. Rodkin
A new non-parametric statistic is introduced for the characterization of deviations from power laws. It is tested on the distribution of seismic energies given by the Gutenberg-Ric…
Long-range Static Directional Stress Transfer in a Cracked, Nonlinear Elastic Crust
G. Ouillon, D. Sornette
Seeing the Earth crust as crisscrossed by faults filled with fluid at close to lithostatic pressures, we develop a model in which its elastic modulii are different in net tension v…
