GROWTHRATE
Growth rate
In group theory, the growth rate of a group with respect to a symmetric generating set describes the size of balls in the group. Every element in the group can be written as a product of generators, and the growth rate counts the number of elements that can be written as a product of length n.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Growth rate (group theory)
