  7. Stretched exponential function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stretched_exponential_function

    The stretched exponential function. is obtained by inserting a fractional power law into the exponential function. In most applications, it is meaningful only for arguments t between 0 and +∞. With β = 1, the usual exponential function is recovered. With a stretching exponent β between 0 and 1, the graph of log f versus t is ...
