Power-law growth, which refers to a pattern of growth where some entities or variables grow at a rate that is proportional to an exponent or power, can also be described using other synonyms. These include exponential growth, where the rate of growth increases exponentially over time, log-normal growth, which corresponds to a distribution of values that follows a log-normal distribution curve, and Pareto distribution, which is commonly used in economics and social sciences to describe the distribution of wealth within a population. Other synonyms include long-tail distribution, heavy-tailed distribution, and fat-tailed distribution, all of which describe the same phenomenon of power-law growth in different contexts.
