A scale-free transportation network explains the city-size distribution
Zipf’s law is one of the best-known empirical regularities of the city-size distribution. There is extensive research on the subject, where each city is treated symmetrically in terms of the cost of transactions with other cities.

A scaling law beyond Zipf's law and its relation to Heaps' law
New Journal of Physics, 2013 The dependence on text length of the statistical properties of word occurrences has long been considered a severe limitation on the usefulness of quantitative linguistics. We propose a simple scaling form for the distribution of absolute word frequencies

RETROSPECTIVE ET ANALYSE DEMOGRAPHIQUE DE LA DYNAMIQUE URBAINE DU SYSTEME WILAYAL TEBESSI (1966–2008) [PDF]

Searching for the parallel growth of cities
Three urban growth theories predict parallel growth of cities. The endogenous growth theory predicts deterministic parallel growth; the random growth theory implies that city growth follows Gibrat’s law with a steady-state distribution; and the hybrid ...

Analyzing Zipf’s Law: Reflections on Power Law or Sigmoid Distribution
The Urban hierarchy has often been explained with Zipf’s law, a par-ticular form of the power law where the shape parameter tends to equal 1. There is a large literature on the applicability of Zipf’s law to different spatial and his-torical contexts ...
