Exponents, scale invariance and universality. One of the key properties of power laws is their scale invariance. Suppose that for a given power law, , we change the length scale of our observation from to, where is a constant. Then, which leaves the power law intact, changing only the constant of proportionality. power law is a mathematical relationship between two quantities where one is proportional to a power of the other: that is, of the form, where and are constants, with being referred to as the exponent.
