 Wigner semicircle distribution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wigner semicircle distribution, named after the physicist Eugene Wigner, is the probability distribution supported on the interval [−R, R] the graph of whose probability density function f is a semicircle of radius R centered at (0, 0) and then suitably normalized (so that it is really a semi-ellipse):
The Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind are orthogonal polynomials with respect to the Wigner semicircle distribution.
In the limit of R approaching zero, the Wigner semicircle distribution becomes a Dirac delta function.

 Pareto distribution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pareto originally used this distribution to describe the allocation of wealth among individuals since it seemed to show rather well the way that a larger portion of the wealth of any society is owned by a smaller percentage of the people in that society.
This distribution is not limited to describing wealth or income distribution, but to many situations in which an equilibrium is found in the distribution of the "small" to the "large".
Zipf's law, also sometimes called the zeta distribution, may be thought of as a discrete counterpart of the Pareto distribution.
