A Complexity View into the Physics of the Accelerating Seismic Release Hypothesis: Theoretical Principles

Observational indications support the hypothesis that many large earthquakes are preceded by accelerating-decelerating seismic release rates which are described by a power law time to failure relation. In the present work, a unified theoretical framework is discussed based on the ideas of non-extens...
