Properties
The growth properties of a mathematical object are related to the object’s characteristics:
- Linear growth
Characteristic of a phenomenon that increases continuously in a given interval, according to a linear rule or direct variation. - Exponential growth
Characteristic of a phenomenon that increases continuously in a given interval, according to an exponential rule. - Logarithmic growth
Characteristic of a phenomenon that increases continuously in a given interval, according to a logarithmic rule.
