Comment on 'Classification scheme for phenomenological universalities in growth problems in physics and other sciences'

TL;DR

This paper critiques a previous phenomenological approach to logistic growth, corrects it, and demonstrates its applicability to various biological growth types, emphasizing the importance of proper modeling in growth phenomena.

Contribution

It provides a corrected phenomenological framework for logistic growth equations and extends its application to different biological growth scenarios.

Findings

Identifies errors in Castorina et al.'s approach

Proposes a correct phenomenological model for logistic growth

Shows applicability to various biological growth types

Abstract

In this communication, the incorrectness of phenomenological approach to the logistic growth equation, proposed by Castorina et al. is presented in detail. The correct phenomenological approach to logistic growth equation is also proposed here. It is also shown that the same leads to different types of biological growths also.
