Example of the simulation using a modeled sequence in group 2 assuming (A − B)3 = 0.666 MPa. a Magnitude–time plot. Red circles denote the magnitudes observed by Uchida et al. (2014), blue circles show the simulated magnitudes, and green lines show slow event in the simulation. b Spatial distributions of the seismic slip of events A5 (M5.07), B1 (M6.28), and B5 (M4.73). c Slip histories after the M9 event at the center of the small patch. B10 is a slow slip event with a maximum slip velocity of less than 0.01 m/s, and thus, its magnitude is undefined
