a. In logistic line, logistic spiral = logarithmic. Also = pertaining to a logarithmic curve, e.g. logistic semi-ordinate. logistic curve: a logarithmic curve; also [after French logistique (P.-F. Verhulst 1845, in Nouv. Mém. de l'Acad. R. des Sci. et Belles-Lettres de Bruxelles XVIII. 8)] , a curve described by the equation y = K/(1 + Ae^a−bt), where K, A, a, and b are constants, which approximates an exponential curve for small values of t, has a point of inflection at t = a/b, and as t increases approaches y = K asymptotically. Hence logistic growth, logistic law, etc.

1905 Philos. Rev. 14 445 A logical renaissance must be noted... I give it the name of ‘logistique’ from an old word which appears to be revived.

1918 C. I. Lewis Surv. Symbolic Logic i. 3 Logistic would not have served our purpose because ‘logistic’ is commonly used to denote symbolic logic together with the application of its methods to other symbolic procedures. Logistic may be defined as the science which deals with types of order as such. It is not so much a subject as a method.

1936 A. J. Ayer Lang., Truth & Logic iii. 88 The best-known example of such a symbolism [sc. artificial language symbolism] is the so-called system of logistic which was employed by Russell and Whitehead in their Principia Mathematica.

1956 A. Church Introd. Math. Logic (rev. ed.) I. 57 The word ‘logistic’..originally meant the art of calculation or common arithmetic. Its modern use for mathematical logic dates from the International Congress of Philosophy of 1904.

1956 E. H. Hutten Lang. Mod. Physics ii. 34 There are still people who believe that Gödel's theorem represents the ultimate failure of logic and mathematics. But, to paraphrase Mark Twain, the reports of the early demise of logistic are greatly exaggerated.
