Analysis of scale invariance property applying homogeneity

The problem of scalability of trajectories in homogeneous and locally homogeneous systems is considered. It is shown that the homogeneous systems have scalability property, and locally homogeneous systems possess this property approximately. The issue of closeness of trajectories for the system and its local homogeneous approximation is investigated. The notions of scale invariance and fold change detection are also studied. The results are illustrated by a cascade system analysis.
