The typical scaling law expression for a (dependent) variable ''y'' as a function of some (positive and independent) system variables ''x<sub>1</sub>'', ''x<sub>2</sub>'',... is:
:<math>y = e^{\alpha_0} x_1^{\alpha_1} x_2^{\alpha_2} ...</math>
:<math>y = e^{\alpha_0} x_1^{\alpha_1} x_2^{\alpha_2} ...</math>
Here, the &alpha;<sub>i</sub> are the scaling parameters.
