Synchronization and desynchronization in the Olami-Feder-Christensen earthquake model and potential implications for real seismicity

The Olami-Feder-Christensen model is probably the most studied model in the context of self-organized criticality and reproduces several statistical properties of real earthquakes. We investigate and explain synchronization and desynchronization of earthquakes in this model in the nonconservative re...
