....correspond to the average number of pins per module; C is the number of modules in the subcircuit (or partition) and p is the Rent parameter or Rent exponent, with 0 p 1. This relation was first observed by E. F. Rent of IBM in the late 1960s and independently by several others, e.g. Donath [4] derived the same relation from a stochastic model of a hierarchical design process. Landman and Russo [28] performed an extensive study of the relation via partitioning experiments on large real life circuits, and observed Rent parameter values p between 0.47 and 0.75. Following Mandelbrot ....
