ABSTRACT: We investigate the dynamical behavior of aftershocks in earthquake networks,
and the earthquake network calculated from a time series is constructed by
contemplating cell resolution and temporal causality. We attempt to connect
an earthquake network using relationship between one main earthquake and
its aftershocks from seismic data of California. We mainly examine some topological
properties of the earthquake such as the degree distribution, the
characteristic path length, the clustering coefficient, and the global efficiency.
Our result cannot presently determine the universal scaling exponents in statistical
quantities, but the topological properties may be inferred to advance
and improve by implementing the method and its technique of networks. Particularly,
it may be dealt with a network issue of convenience and of importance
in the case how large networks construct in time to proceed on earthquake
systems.
