Abstract
In addition to the stochastic scaling in the previous section, we will further investigate the hierarchy of the complex system. In order to unify the local, regional and global seismicities, a non-linear scaling law is derived. The non-linear scaling law characterizes the hierarchy of the complex system as well as earthquake activity in a general manner.
