Power Laws, Precursors and Predictability during Failure
– We investigate the dynamics of a modified Burridge-Knopoff model by introducing a dissipative term to mimic the bursts of acoustic emission (AE) from rock samples. The model explains many features of the statistics of AE signals observed in experiments such as the crossover in the exponent value from relatively small amplitude AE signals to larger regime, and their dependence on the pulling s...
متن کاملPower-laws and Non-Power-laws in Dark Matter Halos
Simulated dark matter profiles are often modelled as a ‘NFW’ density profile rather than a single power law. Recently, attention has turned to the rather rigorous power-law behaviour exhibited by the ‘pseudo phase-space density’ of the dark matter halo, which is defined dimensionally in terms of the local density and velocity dispersion of the dark matter particles. The non-power-law behaviour ...
متن کاملConvective Precursors and Predictability in the Tropical Western Pacific
Conditions leading to convective outbreak in the Tropics are investigated by multivariate analysis of sounding and satellite data from the tropical western Pacific area. Circumstances which make the prediction problem difficult are discussed, and addressed by applying linear “error-in-variables” and nonlinear statistical simulation techniques to a large dataset. Lowto mid-tropospheric moisture ...
متن کاملThe power of power laws and an
Although already defined in 1926 by A. Lotka, power laws are becoming more and more important since they have been found valid in social networks such as the Internet. In this paper we prove some unique properties of power laws. We show that they characterise functions with the scale-free property (also called self-similarity property) as well as functions with the product property. They also h...
