Abstract (may include machine translation)

The Olami-Feder-Christensen (OFC) model for the dynamics of earthquakes is discussed. It is able to reproduce a striking property of real earthquake data. It is found that in order to generate a graph, the epicenters of earthquakes could be connected, with properties of a scale-free network of the Barabási-Albert type. Results show that only the nonconservative version of the OFC model is able to reproduce this type of behavior.
