Scaling Laws in Evolution of Large Computer Programs
An approach based on a paradigm of self-organized criticality is proposed for experimental investigation and theoretical modelling of software evolution. The dynamics of modiˇcations is studied for three free open source programs Mozilla, Free-BSD and Emacs using the data from version control systems. Scaling laws typical of self-organization criticality are found. The model of software evoluti...
متن کاملGeneral entanglement scaling laws from time evolution.
We establish a general scaling law for the entanglement of a large class of ground states and dynamically evolving states of quantum spin chains: we show that the geometric entropy of a distinguished block saturates, and hence follows an entanglement-boundary law. These results apply to any ground state of a gapped model resulting from dynamics generated by a local Hamiltonian, as well as, dual...
متن کاملBrief Communication Linguistic Laws and Computer Programs
Is it really a “law” of languages encompassing everything from human to monkey to DNA? Or is it just an empirical curiosity, of no more system-theoretic significance than, say, a spurious correlation?. But the empirical evidence is mounting that when we finally manage to create a theoretical structure within which to speak mathematically about complex systems, power laws like Zipf’s will appear...
متن کاملScaling Laws for Large Momentum Transfer Processes
Dimensional scaling laws are developed as an approach to understanding the energy dependence of high energy scattering processes at fixed center-ofmass angle. Given a reasonable assumption on the short distance behavior of bound states, and the absence of an internal mass scale, we show that at large s and t, do/dt (AB -t CD) Q s -n-i-2 f(t/s); n is the total number of fields in A,B,C and D whi...
متن کاملScaling Laws at Large Transverse Momentum
Nature has glimpse of th evidently co form factors transfer. On currents wit less, as indi ior of the de this note we shall show that asymptotic properties of electromagnetic form factors and largeangle exclusive and inclusive scattering amplitudes can also be understood in terms of renormalizable field theories with certain conditions, namely, asymptotically scale-invariant interactions among ...
