The Dynamics of Book Sales: Endogenous versus Exogenous Shocks in Complex Networks
F. Deschatres, D. Sornette
We present an extensive study of the foreshock and aftershock signatures accompanying peaks of book sales. The time series of book sales are derived from the ranking system of Amaz…
Constraints on the Size of the Smallest Triggering Earthquake from the ETAS Model, Baath's Law, and Observed Aftershock Sequences
D. Sornette, M. J. Werner
The physics of earthquake triggering together with simple assumptions of self-similarity impose the existence of a minimum magnitude m0 below which earthquakes do not trigger other…
Numerical investigations of discrete scale invariance in fractals and multifractal measures
W. -X. Zhou, D. Sornette
Fractals and multifractals and their associated scaling laws provide a quantification of the complexity of a variety of scale invariant complex systems. Here, we focus on lattice m…
Multifractal Scaling of Thermally-Activated Rupture Processes
D. Sornette, G. Ouillon
We propose a ``multifractal stress activation'' model combining thermally activated rupture and long memory stress relaxation, which predicts that seismic decay rates after mainsho…
Creep failures in heterogeneous materials
H. Nechad, A. Helmstetter, R. El Guerjouma +1
We present creep experiments on fiber composite materials with controlled heterogeneity. Recorded strain rates and acoustic emission rates exhibit a power law relaxation in the pri…
