So basic computation is "long range" and O(N2) for N fault segments
|
We can compare with other classic long range force problems such as particle dynamics (chemistry, astrophysics) and vortex method in CFD
-
This problem is linear in independent variables fi(t)
-
The position of fault segments is irregular but roughly fixed
-
Force law is that of a "double-couple" (equal and opposite dipoles)
|
|
But we have the same essential computational feature that O(N2) terms will lead to high computational load which needs to be addressed somehow.
