the theory that near a critical point the properties of a finite system depend on the ratio of its size to the correlation length, used to extract exponents from simulations.

In statistical physics, finite-size scaling refers to the theory that near a critical point the properties of a finite system depend on the ratio of its size to the correlation length, used to extract exponents from simulations. This meaning comes from Fisher (1972) in Physical Review Letters.[1]
