Comparative performance of time‐invariant, long‐range and short‐range forecasting models on the earthquake catalogue of Greece (2006, background): “main shock rupture area, as observed in real data [ Kagan, 2002 ].”
Tohoku earthquake: a surprise? (2011, methodology): “…scalar seismic moment: (a) the truncated Gutenberg-Richter (G-R) or equivalently truncated Pareto distribution, in which the upper magnitude parameter is the maximum magnitude, and (b) the gamma distribution (Kagan, 2002a; 2002b), in which the upper magnitude parameter is the corner magnitude mcg.”
GLOBAL RELATIONS BETWEEN SEISMIC FAULT PARAMETERS AND MOMENT MAGNITUDE OF EARTHQUAKES (2004, background): “Such data have been produced by many researchers all over the world and have been summarized and published recently in certain scientific papers (Wells & Coppersmith 1994, Pegler & Das 1995, Stock & Smith 2000, Fujii & Matsu’ura 2000, Henry & Das 2001, Kagan 2002, Papazachos & Papazachou 2003).”
Mainshocks are aftershocks of conditional foreshocks: How do foreshock statistical properties emerge from aftershock laws (2002, methodology): “Indeed, using the wellestablished scaling law relating the size of rupture and the domain extension of aftershocks [Kagan, 2002] to the release energy (or seismic moment), and assuming a uniform spatial distribution of aftershocks in their domain, expression (2) immediately follows (it still holds…”
Short-Term Properties of Earthquake Catalogs and Models of Earthquake Source (2004, background): “8 (see equation 20).”
A generalized Omori's law for earthquake aftershock decay (2004, background): “In each case the linear size of the box was approximately taken to be about the aftershock zone L of the mainshock which scales with the magnitude of the mainshock mms as L = 0.02 100.5mms km [Kagan, 2002].”
Importance of small earthquakes for stress transfers and earthquake triggering (2004, background): “We assume that larger earthquakes influence seismicity in a wider area, proportional to the mainshock rupture area [Kagan, 2002a].”
Estimation of Space–Time Branching Process Models in Seismology Using an EM–Type Algorithm (2006, methodology): “It has been suggested that aftershock zones increase with main shock magnitudes, and some recent research seems to support this view (Kagan 2002b).”
