Is there a concept already for $\frac{f'(x)}{f(x)/x}$?

105 Views Asked by At

Given a differentiable real function $y=f(x)$, is there a math concept/terminology already defined for $$\frac{f'(x)}{f(x)/x}?$$

This quantity is inspired from price elasticity of demand.

Thanks.

Google Books and Scholar attest that this is sometimes called the dimensionless logarithmic derivative of $f$, as it is a dimensionless version of the better-known logarithmic derivative.
