A tentative model for the explanation of Båth law using the order parameter of seismicity in natural time

Abstract Using the order parameter of seismicity defined in natural time, we suggest a simple model for the explanation of Båth law, according to which a mainshock differs in magnitude from its largest aftershock by approximately 1.2 regardless of the mainshock magnitude. In addition, the validity o...
