Why Gamma Distribution Of Seismic Inter-Event Times: A Theoretical Explanation, Laxman Bokati, Aaron A. Velasco, Vladik Kreinovich
Departmental Technical Reports (CS)
It is known that the distribution of seismic inter-event times is well described by the Gamma distribution. Recently, this fact has been used to successfully predict major seismic events. In this paper, we explain that the Gamma distribution of seismic inter-event times can be naturally derived from the first principles.
Need For A Large-N Array (And Wavelets And Differences) To Determine The Assumption-Free 3-D Earth Model, Solymar Ayala Cortez, Aaron A. Velasco, Vladik Kreinovich
Need For A Large-N Array (And Wavelets And Differences) To Determine The Assumption-Free 3-D Earth Model, Solymar Ayala Cortez, Aaron A. Velasco, Vladik Kreinovich

One of the main objectives of geophysical seismic analysis is to determine the Earth's structure. Usually, to determine this structure, geophysicists supplement the measurement results with additional geophysical assumptions. An important question is: when is it possible to reconstruct the Earth's structure uniquely based on the measurement results only, without the need to use any additional assumptions? In this paper, we show that for this, one needs to use large-N arrays -- 2-D arrays of seismic sensors. To actually perform this reconstruction, we need to use differences between measurements by neighboring sensor and we need to apply wavelet analysis to …
