Summary
We study the topological properties of three types of networks formed with stations at the vertices of systems of squares, of equilateral triangles and regular exagones. The length of the sides necessary to locate a generically located event of given magnitude are computed. The type of network covering a given region and detecting events of given magnitude from a minimum number of stations is determined. The magnitude which minimizes the ratio between the number of stations and the number of events surveyed is determined for each type of network. The formulae are applied to the USA and Italy. The re: suits can be applied to any network of sensor devices aimed to detect physical or biological or geophysical phenomena.
