Characterizations of the generalized Wu- and Kosmulski-indices in Lotkaian systems

Author

  • Egghe, L.

Abstract

We define the generalized Wu- and Kosmulski-indices, allowing for general parameters of multiplication or exponentiation. We then present formulae for these generalized indices in a Lotkaian framework.
