For , the positive beta function makes the running coupling increase toward the ultraviolet fixed point . Assume a continuous locally Lipschitz beta function, a continuous anomalous dimension at the fixed point, and a finite nonzero reference value . Then and
Thus the high-momentum factor has exponent in , and the propagator scales as up to slower corrections. If the fixed point is simple and attractive, , the approach is exponential; suitable smoothness then gives with finite . The stated beta-function information alone supplies no numerical value for the anomalous dimension and does not exclude slower corrections at a nonsimple fixed point. This is two-point scaling at an ultraviolet fixed point.
