Abstract
⺠Temporal generalized fractal dimension (Dq) was used to study the seismic cluster of Chiayi earthquake (ML = 6.4), Taiwan. ⺠Dq curve is smooth in the background stage. ⺠Dq curve exhibits greater variability especially for the steep slope at q = 0 during the foreshock stage. ⺠The fluctuation of Dq is large and the multifractal degree is up to 1 in the aftershock stage. ⺠The variation of the slope of Dq curve at q = 0 may be used as a precursor of a large earthquake.
