On a logarithmic graph (below, right), exponential growth looks like a straight, rising line. If our efforts to slow the spread are working, you’ll see the curve rising at a more and more shallow ...

Given a large graph G = (V, E) with millions of nodes and edges, how do we compute its connected components efficiently? Recent work addresses this problem in map-reduce, where a fundamental trade-off ...

This post offers reasons for using logarithmic scales, also called log scales, on charts and graphs. It explains when logarithmic graphs with base 2 are preferred to logarithmic graphs with base 10.

A research team made up of academics from the LSE and Yale University found that logarithmic graphs used to show the curve of COVID-19 infections can confuse the public.

The classical dynamic programming recursions for the forward-backwards and Viterbi HMM algorithms are linear in the number of time frames being processed. Adapting the method of [8] to the context of ...

Treasury's 'logarithmic' graph produced bars of equal height for different areas of spending, which could have confused voters, watchdog says. By Matthew Holehouse 07 February 2014 • 5:42pm .

As a result, the logarithmic graph plotting the number of transistors per integrated circuit over time has become instantly recognizable ever since it first appeared on April 19, 1965.

The data look very different when plotted on what is called a logarithmic scale. In a typical graph, values on the (vertical) y-axis are plotted linearly: 1, 2, 3, and so on, or 10, 20, 30, or the ...
