Directed Cascades Generate New Critical Universality Classes

Didier Sornette, Eugenio Lippiello, Giuseppe Petrillo

Spectrally stable cascades can undergo enormous transient growth before eventually dying out. We show that this amplification is controlled by the directed architecture of the inte…

Celebrating the Physics in Geophysics

Anthony B. Davis, D. Sornette

As 2005, the International Year of Physics, comes to an end, two physicists working primarily in geophysical research reflect on how geophysics is not an applied physics. Although…

Magnitude-Dependent Omori Law: Empirical Study and Theory

G. Ouillon, D. Sornette

We propose a new physically-based ``multifractal stress activation'' model of earthquake interaction and triggering based on two simple ingredients: (i) a seismic rupture results f…

Intercluster Correlation in Seismicity

Agnes Helmstetter, Didier Sornette

Mega et al.(cond-mat/0212529) proposed to use the ``diffusion entropy'' (DE) method to demonstrate that the distribution of time intervals between a large earthquake (the mainshock…

New Evidence of Discrete Scale Invariance in the Energy Dissipation of Three-Dimensional Turbulence: Correlation Approach and Direct Spectral Detection

W. -X. Zhou, D. Sornette, V. Pisarenko

We extend the analysis of [Zhou and Sornette, Physica D 165, 94-125, 2002] showing statistically significant log-periodic corrections to scaling in the moments of the energy dissip…

Classification of Possible Finite-Time Singularities by Functional Renormalization

Simon Gluzman, Didier Sornette

Starting from a representation of the early time evolution of a dynamical system in terms of the polynomial expression of some observable f (t) as a function of the time variable i…
