Forecasting characteristic earthquakes in a minimalist model
Using error diagrams, we quantify the forecasting of characteristic-earthquake occurrence in a recently introduced minimalist model. Initially we connect the earthquake alarm at a fixed time after the ocurrence of a characteristic event. The evaluation of this strategy leads to a onedimensional numerical exploration of the loss function. This first strategy is then refined by considering a clas...
متن کاملA minimalist model of characteristic earthquakes
In a spirit akin to the sandpile model of selforganized criticality, we present a simple statistical model of the cellular-automaton type which simulates the role of an asperity in the dynamics of a one-dimensional fault. This model produces an earthquake spectrum similar to the characteristic-earthquake behaviour of some seismic faults. This model, that has no parameter, is amenable to an alge...
متن کاملReasoning With Characteristic Models
Formal AI systems traditionally represent knowledge using logical formulas. We will show, however, that for certain kinds of information, a modelbased representation is more compact and enables faster reasoning than the corresponding formula-based representation. The central idea behind our work is to represent a large set of models by a subset of characteristic models. More specifically, we ex...
متن کاملTranslating between Horn Representations and Their Characteristic Models Translating between Horn Representations and Their Characteristic Models
Characteristic models are an alternative, model based, representation for Horn expressions. It has been shown that these two representations are incomparable and each has its advantages over the other. It is therefore natural to ask what is the cost of translating , back and forth, between these representations. Interestingly, the same translation questions arise in database theory, where it ha...
متن کاملSeismic Radiation From Simple Models of Earthquakes
We review some basic features of shear wave generation and energy balance for a 2D antiplane rupture. We first study the energy balance for a flat fault, and for a fault that contains a single localized kink. We determine an exact expression for the partition between strain energy flow released from the elastic medium surrounding the fault, radiated energy flow and energy release rate. This bal...
