In physics, a power law relationship between two scalar quantities x and y is any such that the relationship can be written as

where a (the constant of proportionality) and k (the exponent of the power law) are constants.

Examples of power law relationships:

Examples of power law probability distributions:

Power laws are among the most frequent scaling law s that describe the scaling invariance found in many natural phenomena.
