A Two–exponent Mass-size Power Law for Celestial Objects
The Universe that we know is populated by structures made up of aggregated matter that organizes into a variety of objects; these range from stars to larger objects, such as galaxies or star clusters, composed by stars, gas and dust in gravitational interaction. We show that observations support the existence of a composite (two–exponent) power law relating mass and size for these objects. We b...
متن کاملA power-law distribution for tenure lengths of sports managers
We show that the tenure lengths for managers of sport teams follow a power law distribution with an exponent between 2 and 3. We develop a simple theoretical model which replicates this result. The model demonstrates that the empirical phenomenon can be understood as the macroscopic outcome of pairwise interactions among managers in a league, threshold effects in managerial performance evaluati...
متن کاملFrequency Analysis of FG Sandwich Rectangular Plates with a Four-Parameter Power-Law Distribution
An accurate solution procedure based on the three-dimensional elasticity theory for the free vibration analysis of Functionally Graded Sandwich (FGS) plates is presented. Since no assumptions on stresses and displacements have been employed, it can be applied to the free vibration analysis of plates with arbitrary thickness. The two-constituent FGS plate consists of ceramic and metal graded thr...
متن کاملPower-law distribution functions derived from maximum entropy and a symmetry relationship
Power-law distributions are common, particularly in social physics. Here, we explore whether power-laws might arise as a consequence of a general variational principle for stochastic processes. We describe communities of ‘social particles’, where the cost of adding a particle to the community is shared equally between the particle joining the cluster and the particles that are already members o...
متن کاملEvolution of globular cluster systems in elliptical galaxies . II : power - law initial mass function
We have studied the evolution of globular cluster systems (GCS) in elliptical galaxies with a power-law initial GCS mass function (GCMF) (f (M) ∝ M −α) similar to that predicted by some theoretical studies of globular clusters formation and to that of young cluster systems observed in merging galaxies. We have carried out a survey over a large number of different host galaxies and we have consi...
