+Several recent dynamic spontaneous rupture modeling studies have
+attempted to examine a broader space-time window in order to remove
+simplifying assumptions and more accurately capture the complex
+interactions over the earthquake cycle. For example,
+\citeN{Duan:Oglesby:2005} simulated multiple earthquake cycles on a
+fault with a bend in order to capture the spatial variation in the
+stress field around the bend, which they found to have a strong role
+in determining whether a rupture would propagate past the bend. By
+spinning up the model over many earthquake cycles, they obtained a
+much more realistic stress field immediately prior to rupture compared
+with assuming a simple stress field or calculating the stress field
+from a static analysis. \citeN{Chen:Lapusta:2009} examined the
+behavior of small repeating earthquakes by modeling a stable sliding
+region (friction increases with slip rate) surrounding an unstable
+sliding region (friction decreases with slip rate). They found that
+the aseismic slip occurring within the unstable patch between ruptures
+contributed a significant fraction of the long-term slip. As a result,
+their simulations displayed a complex interaction between aseismic
+slip between earthquakes and coseismic slip that would not have been
+possible if they did not explicitly model the interseismic
+deformation. \citeN{Kaneko:etal:????}

 Collectively, these studies suggest a set of desirable features for
 models of the earthquake cycle in order to capture both the slow
