Interevent time distribution in seismicity: a theoretical approach
This paper presents an analysis of the distribution of the time
between two consecutive events in a stationary point process. The study is
motivated by the discovery of a unified scaling law for for the case of
seismic events. It is shown that the unified law must necessarily be
exponential. We discuss the parameterization of the empirical unified law and
the physical meaning of the parameters involved
