Transformation of frequency-magnitude relation prior to large events in the model of block structure dynamics

The <i>b</i>-value change in the frequency-magnitude (FM) distribution for a synthetic earthquake catalogue obtained by means of the model of block structure dynamics has been studied. The catalogue is divided into time periods preceding strong earthquakes and time period...
