Geological fault systems, as the San Andreas fault (SAF) in USA, constitute typical examples of self-organizing systems in nature. In this paper, we have considered some geophysical properties of the SAF system to test the viability of the…
The aspect of self-affine nature of faulting and fracture is widely documented from the data analysis of both field observations and laboratory experiments. In this direction, Huang and Turcotte have stated that the statistics of regional…
We introduce a Self-affine Asperity Model (SAM) for the seismicity that mimics the fault friction by means of two fractional Brownian profiles (fBm) that slide one over the other. An earthquake occurs when there is an overlap of the two…
The Parkfield M6 earthquake predicted from 1985 by the USGS to happen by 1993 happened 11 years later in 2004 instead. Till today, satisfactory answers to why this earthquake was mis-predicted have not been found. Seven months after the…
Tsallis identified a set of numbers, the q-triplet, (qstat, qsen, qrel), for a system described by nonextensive statistical mechanics. The deviation of the q's from unity is a measure of the departure from thermodynamic equilibrium. We…
We report a similarity of fluctuations in equilibrium critical phenomena and non-equilibrium systems, which is based on the concept of natural time. The world-wide seismicity as well as that of San Andreas fault system and Japan are…
A model for fault dynamics consisting of two rough and rigid brownian profiles that slide one over the other is introduced. An earthquake occurs when there is an intersection between the two profiles. The energy release is proportional to…
Traditional models of slow slip events (SSEs) often oversimplify fault geometry, yet imaging studies show that real subduction faults are segmented and complex. We investigate how fault interactions influence slip behavior using 3D…
We study a 2D quasi-static discrete {\it crack} anti-plane model of a tectonic plate with long range elastic forces and quenched disorder. The plate is driven at its border and the load is transfered to all elements through elastic forces.…
Self-gravitating systems are generally thought to behavior non-extensively due to the long-range nature of gravitational forces. We obtain a relation between the nonextensive parameter q of Tsallis statistics, the temperature gradient and…
Located in northern Chile (23.7{\deg}S, 70.4{\deg}W), Antofagasta has an exceptionally arid and stable climate characterized by minimal precipitation and consistent weather patterns. Nevertheless, despite these climate conditions being…
Many complex systems, including sand-pile models, slider-block models, and earthquakes, have been discussed whether they obey the principles of self-organized criticality. Behavior of these systems can be investigated from two different…
We discuss recent results on a new analysis regarding models showing Self-Organized Criticality (SOC), and in particular on the OFC one. We show that Probability Density Functions (PDFs) for the avalanche size differences at different times…
The magnitude distribution of three seismic sequences occurred in Morocco were investigated by means of the Tsallis-based non-extensive analysis. The non-extensive parameters were estimated by means of the Levenberg-Marquadt nonlinear least…
This paper is devoted to a phenomenological study of the earthquakes in central Alborz, Iran. Using three observational quantities, namely weight function, quality factor, and velocity model in this region, we develop a phenomenological…
The self-energy, spectral functions and susceptibilities of 2D systems with strong ferromagnetic fluctuations are considered within the quasistatic approach. The self-energy at low temperatures T has a non-Fermi liquid form in the energy…
In this work we report the discovery and analysis of three new triply eclipsing triple star systems found with the TESS mission during its observations of the northern skies: TICs 193993801, 388459317, and 52041148. We utilized the TESS…
We have revisited the fragment-asperity interaction model recently introduced by Sotolongo-Costa and Posadas (Physical Review Letters 92, 048501, 2004) by considering a different definition for mean values in the context of Tsallis…
A plethora of natural, artificial and social complex systems exists which violate the basic hypothesis (e.g., ergodicity) of Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) statistical mechanics. Many of such cases can be satisfactorily handled by introducing…
The statistics of earthquakes in a heterogeneous fault zone is studied analytically and numerically in the mean field version of a model for a segmented fault system in a three-dimensional elastic solid. The studies focus on the interplay…
