Establishments and services exhibit a typical distance decay pattern.
2.
Distance decay can be mathematically represented as an Inverse-square law by the expression
3.
This phenomenon is known as distance decay.
4.
Distance decay is graphically represented by a curving line that swoops concavely downward as distance along the x-axis increases.
5.
It has been recently enhanced by considering distance decay within catchments and called the enhanced two-step floating catchment area ( E2SFCA ) method.
6.
For each of these consider the closest limit inferior, and says that there is a subsequence for which the distances decay faster than the reciprocal, i . e.
7.
Microbes generally follow well-known patterns such as the distance decay relationship, the atmosphere ( for larger animals dispersal is much more constrained due to their size ).
8.
A 2010 study by the University of Exeter into the meaning of contemporary Cornish identity across Cornwall found that there was a " west-east distance decay in the strength of the Cornish identity . " The study was conducted amongst the farming community as they were deemed to be the socio-professional group most objectively representative of Cornishness.

This is related to Tobler s first law of geography, which states that " Everything depends on everything else, but closer things more so "-in other words, the law implies a spatial distance decay function, such that even though all observations have an influence on all other observations, after some distance threshold that influence can be neglected.
