THE SCALING LAW FOR THE DISCRETE KINETIC GROWTH PERCOLATION MODEL
The Scaling Law for the Discrete Kinetic Growth Percolation Model The critical exponent of the total number of finite clusters α is calculated directly without using scaling hypothesis both below and above the percolation threshold pc based on a kinetic growth percolation model in two and three dimensions. Simultaneously, we can calculate other critical exponents β and γ, and show that the scal...
متن کاملCompression and the origins of Zipf's law for word frequencies
Here we sketch a new derivation of Zipf’s law for word frequencies based on optimal coding. The structure of the derivation is reminiscent of Mandelbrot’s random typing model but it has multiple advantages over random typing: (1) it starts from realistic cognitive pressures (2) it does not require fine tuning of parameters and (3) it sheds light on the origins of other statistical laws of langu...
متن کاملAfrican Jurisprudence: The Law as a Complement to Public Morality
Every society is governed by certain rules (the law), customs, norms and values; and these are intricately crucial to the maintenance of public morality. Invariably, there is a public morality which provides the cement of any human society; the law, especially the criminal law, must regard it as a primary function to reflect and maintain this public morality. Criminal Codes lay down various off...
متن کاملScaling law
Scaling law for the Υ(4S) → B ¯ B and ψ(3770) → D ¯ D decay constants from effective sum rules Abstract Sum rules for exclusive production of heavy meson pairs in e + e − annihilation are used to evaluate the Υ(4S) → B ¯ B and ψ(3770) → D ¯ D decay widths. Infinitely heavy quark limit is discussed, so that scaling law for the quarkonium-meson coupling constant is derived. A value of the B ¯ B p...
متن کاملExact Radial Free Vibration Frequencies of Power-Law Graded Spheres
This study concentrates on the free pure radial vibrations of hollow spheres made of hypothetically functionally simple power rule graded materials having identical inhomogeneity indexes for both Young’s modulus and the density in an analytical manner. After offering the exact elements of the free vibration coefficient matrices for free-free, free-fixed, and fixed-fixed restraints, a parametric...
