Abstract
The process of seismic kinetics before Tohoku earthquake (Japan, 2011, M = 9.0) is investigated by the help of the scaling analysis methods. The sequence of time intervals between the subsequent events in focal area (waiting time series) in the range of magnitudes 2.5 \(\le\) M \(\le\) 9.0 for period 1.11.2003–11.03.2011 is used. It is shown that the waiting time series has scale-invariant structure. Self-similar structure of the waiting time series is proposed to consider as the dissipative structure which is induced by strongly nonequilibrium state of seismogenerating system during the period of preparation of Tohoku earthquake. The spectrum of singularities of the multifractal measure modeling a waiting time series is suggested to be viewed as a quantitative characteristic of the earthquake preparation process.
