In a previous article, static Lotkaian theory was extended by introducing a growth function for the items. In this article, a second general growth function -this time for the sources -is introduced. Hence this theory now comprises real growth situations, where items and sources grow, starting from

## Abstract Power laws as defined in 1926 by A. Lotka are increasing in importance because they have been found valid in varied social networks including the Internet. In this article some unique properties of power laws are proven. They are shown to characterize functions with the scale‐free prope

## Abstract In this article concentration (i.e., inequality) aspects of the functions of Zipf and of Lotka are studied. Since both functions are power laws (i.e., they are mathematically the same) it suffices to develop one concentration theory for power laws and apply it twice for the different in
