Abstract
We have shown elsewhere that there are stable periodic solutions of the Burridge-Knopoff model in a certain window in parameter space. We discuss the shape of this window which is a function of five parameters. We present arguments to justify the occurence of both the lower and the upper edges of the window and show that the lower edge can be understood in terms of simple scaling arguments and can be presented as a function of two dimensionless parameters.
