Size-frequency and rank-frequency relations, power laws and exponential relations: a unified approach
Power laws, such as Zipf s law, and exponential relations, leading to straight lines in logarithmic or semi-logarithmic scales, are presented in a unified setting. It is shown that the class of size-frequency power laws is larger than the class of rank-frequency power laws. Their ubiquity in all fields of science is illustrated.
متن کاملUniversal laws and economic phenomena
Despite the idiosyncratic behavior of individuals, empirical regularities exist in social and economic systems. These regularities often arise from simple underlying mechanisms which, analogous to the natural sciences, can be expressed as universal principles or laws. In this essay, I discuss the similarities between economic and natural phenomena and argue that it is advantageous for economist...
متن کاملCannabis laws: an analysis of costs.
There is evidence that the use of cannabis is increasing in Australia, with stable black-market prices, despite the 9-year National Campaign Against Drug Abuse, increasing expenditure to enforce the laws against cannabis use, and the seizure of large plantations of cannabis plants. Recent government data are used to estimate the conservative cost of drug-law enforcement against cannabis use as ...
متن کاملA Universal Rank-Size Law
A mere hyperbolic law, like the Zipf's law power function, is often inadequate to describe rank-size relationships. An alternative theoretical distribution is proposed based on theoretical physics arguments starting from the Yule-Simon distribution. A modeling is proposed leading to a universal form. A theoretical suggestion for the "best (or optimal) distribution", is provided through an entro...
متن کاملRank and fooling set size
Say that A is a Hadamard factorization of the identity In of size n if A ◦AT = In, where ◦ denotes the Hadamard or entrywise product, and AT denotes the transpose of A. As n = rk(In) = rk(A ◦ AT ) ≤ rk(A)2, it is clear that the rank of any Hadamard factorization of the identity must be at least √ n. Dietzfelbinger et al. [DHS96] raised the question if this bound can be achieved, and showed a bo...
