| Abstract: | Tries
to find the pattern of change of keywords of an arbitrary science subject with
its age. The mode of temporal evolution of a subject is formulated on the basis
of some fundamental assumptions. It has been mathematically derived that the
number of keywords of a subject will always tend to attain a saturation value
with the age of the subject. When a subject gets overloaded with keywords, then
it tries to share the same with some peripheral subject areas and consequently
new subjects are formed. |
