In populations, the increasingly accelerated rate of growth due to the increasing number of individuals being added to the reproductive base. Exponential growth is very seldom approached or sustained [..]

Exponential growth refers to the situation where growth compounds continuously at every instant of time. Because compounding takes place at intervals much longer than an instant, a geometric growth is [..]

A geometric rate of progression which has the potential of producing a very fast rise (or an "explosion") in the numbers of a population experiencing such growth. (See also Doubling time.)

Definition A growth factor in which the rate of growth of a value is proportionate to the previous increase in value. For example, when a value has doubled, the rate of growth will also have doubled. [..]

with ideal conditions and unlimited amounts of resources, the population increases rapidly over time

Growth that proceeds in a manner characterized by periodic doublings.

A pattern of increase in which each value is found by multiplying the previous value by a constant factor greater than 1. For example, the doubling pattern 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32,...shows exponential grow [..]

The assumption of unconstrained natural increase of a population yields the exponential growth model (Malthus, 1798) where the growth rate is directly proportional to the current population (the discr [..]

growth of a population in which the number increases by an order of magnitude every generation. Cells which divide in two undergo an exponential growth phase where the population doubles with every generation.

Nonlinear increase (or decrease) of a property (e.g., body size, population size) over time, described by an exponential equation.

The increase in a value over a period by a fixed percentage of the original value, such that the increase in each period is equal to the original value plus the interest accumulated in the preceding p [..]
