Brown Dwarf Initial Mass Function

The Brown Dwarf Initial Mass Function is a specialized form of the initial mass function that specifically describes the statistical distribution of masses at birth for brown dwarfs, distinguishing it from the broader stellar initial mass function by focusing exclusively on sub-stellar objects insufficiently massive to sustain hydrogen fusion.
