A new construction method of earthquake networks based on the theory of complex networks is presented in this paper. We propose a space–time influence domain for each earthquake to quantify the subsequence of earthquakes which are directly influenced by the former earthquake. The size of the...

Earthquake network is a novel methodology to analyze the relationships among the earthquake events. k-core decomposition is one of the common measures to identify the most important nodes in complex networks. In this paper, we first verify the hierarchical structure of the earthquake network,...
