Competitors’ probability distribution law, state scale invariance and linear growth models

Abstract: 

The scale invariance is one of the distinguishers of the holistic behavior. Self-organized critical systems and systems with coherent noise giving examples of the scale invariance consist of essentially nonlinear elements. On the contrary, linear growth models with scale invariant properties are formulated in the paper.

Since the wholeness can’t arise from linear schemes, it is initially included in thе rules of the proposed models by means of using the information about the cumulative characteristics оf the system. The presence of such «seed оf the holistic properties» is quite enough for the distribution of system parts sizes to be power-law.

Besides that the questions of statistical samples processing for the construction of rank dependences, the analysis of the role of their parameters and the qualitative properties of systems described by power law probability distributions are considered in the paper.
