| Zusammenfassung |
| In a spirit akin to
the sandpile model of self-organized 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 algebraic description as a Markov Chain. This possibility
illuminates some important results, obtained by Monte Carlo simulations,
such as the earthquake size-frequency relation and the recurrence time of
the characteristic earthquake. |
