Zusammenfassung |
Earthquake network describes the complexity of seismicity
both qualitatively and quantitatively. The procedure of constructing an
earthquake network contains as a single parameter the size of the cells,
into which a geographical region under consideration is divided. Then, the
characteristics of the network depend on the cell size, in general. Here,
the dependency of the clustering coefficient, C, of network on the cell size
is studied. Remarkably, C of the earthquake networks constructed from the
seismic data taken from California, Japan, and Iran well coincide for each
value of the scaled dimensionless cell size. It is found that the networks
in California and Japan are three-dimensional, whereas the one in Iran is
rather two-dimensional. In addition, the values of C of all these three
networks monotonically converge to C ≈ 0.85 as the scaled
dimensionless cell size increases, highlighting a universal aspect of the
concept of earthquake network. |
