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 کاملPower-Law Size Distribution of Supercritical Random Trees
– The probability distribution P (k) of the sizes k of critical trees (branching ratio m = 1) is well known to show a power-law behavior k. Such behavior corresponds to the mean-field approximation for many critical and self-organized critical phenomena. Here we show numerically and analytically that also supercritical trees (branching ration m > 1) are ”critical” in that their size distributio...
متن کاملThe relation between memory and power-law exponent
The inter-event time of many real systems are empirically found to be power-law distributed, and memory (the first-order autocorrelation), as a quantity ranging from -1 to +1, has been proposed to characterize the short-range correlation of time series. While series from real systems are usually found to be positively or negatively correlated, the memories for empirical power-law series are pre...
متن کاملOn estimating the exponent of power-law frequency distributions.
Power-law frequency distributions characterize a wide array of natural phenomena. In ecology, biology, and many physical and social sciences, the exponents of these power laws are estimated to draw inference about the processes underlying the phenomenon, to test theoretical models, and to scale up from local observations to global patterns. Therefore, it is essential that these exponents be est...
متن کاملThe power-law tail exponent of income distributions
In this paper we tackle the problem of estimating the power-law tail exponent of income distributions by using the Hill’s estimator. A subsample semi-parametric bootstrap procedure minimizing the mean squared error is used to choose the power-law cutoff value optimally. This technique is applied to personal income data for Australia and Italy. r 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
