Abstract
Analysis of seismicity in Kamchatka and Japan demonstrates that, within the framework of nonlinear dynamical systems, it is possible to estimate the key parameters of a system of equations acting as a “generator” of the seismic regime. Based on the introduced seismic parameter, estimates are obtained for the embedding dimension and the fractal dimension of the phase portrait for the dynamic seismicity system. The former indicates the dimension (the required number of equations) of the dynamical system needed to describe the seismic regime, whereas the latter reflects the degree of chaos (randomness) in the system’s solution. This analysis spans a wide range of energy, spatial, and temporal scales. A distinct shift in the properties of such a system generating the dynamics of seismicity is observed in association with the Tohoku megaearthquake.
