Abstract
Statistical properties of earthquakes are studied both by the analysis of real earthquake catalog of Japan and by numerical computer simulations of the spring-block model in both one and two dimensions. Particular attention is paid to the spatiotemporal correlations of earthquakes, e.g., the recurrencetime distribution or the time evolution before and after the mainshock of seismic distribution functions, including the magnitude distribution and the spatial seismic distribution. Certain eminent features of the spatiotemporal correlations, e.g., foreshocks, aftershocks, swarms and doughnut-like seismic pattern, are discussed.
