Computer simulations of critical phenomena in systems with long range interaction: A study of ising dipoles and self-organized criticality in earthquakes
This thesis discusses scaling and critical behavior of two different models. One model describes Ising dipoles, originates in condensed matter physics and depicts equilibrium critical phenomena. The other model, taken from the earth sciences, describes faulting instabilities and the resulting ear...
