Descripción
We address several questions on the behavior of a numerical model recently introduced to study seismic phenomena, which includes relaxation in the plates as a key ingredient. First, we make an analysis of the scaling of the largest events with system size and show that, when parameters are appropriately interpreted, the typical size of the largest events scale as the system size, without the necessity to tune any parameter. Second, we show that the temporal activity in the model is inherently nonstationary and obtain from here justification and support for the concept of a "seismic cycle" in the temporal evolution of seismic activity. Finally, we ask for the reasons that make the model display a realistic value of the decaying exponent b in the Gutenberg-Richter law for the avalanche size distribution. We explain why relaxation induces a systematic increase in b from its value b 0.4 observed in the absence of relaxation. However, we have not been able to justify the actual robustness of the model in displaying a consistent b value around the experimentally observed value b 1.
