Non-Local Seismo-Dynamics: A Fractional Approach

Abstract

This paper consists of a general consideration of a seismic system as a subsystem of another, larger system, exchanging with it by extensive dynamical quantities in a sequential push mode. It is shown that, unlike an isolated closed system described by the Liouville differential equation of the first order in time, it is described by a fractional differential equation of a distributed equation in the interval (0, 1] order. The key characteristic of its motion is a spectral function, representing the order distribution over the interval. As a specific case of the process, a system with single-point spectrum is investigated. It follows the fractional Poisson process method evolution, obeying via a time-fractional differential equation with a unique order. The article ends with description of statistical estimation of parameters of seismic shocks imitated by Monte Carlo simulated fractional Poisson process.
