It assumes the perspective of statistical physics, which provides the theoretical frame for dealing with complex systems in general. This volume addresses graduate students wishing to specialize in the field and researchers working or interested in the field having a background in the physics, geosciences or applied mathematics. 410 0$aLecture notes in physics ;$v705. 606 $aSeismology$xStatistical methods$vCongresses 606 $aEarthquakes$xMathematical models$vCongresses 615 0$aSeismology$xStatistical methods 615 0$aEarthquakes$xMathematical models 676 $a551.22 702 $aBhattacharyya$b Pratip 702 $aChakrabarti$b B.
