Abstract

The Cluster-cluster model was introduced by Meakin et al in 1984. Each xZdx\in \mathbb{Z}^d starts with a cluster of size 1 with probability p(0,1]p \in (0,1] independently. Each cluster CC performs a continuous-time SRW with rate Cα|C|^{-\alpha}. If it attempts to move to a vertex occupied by another cluster, it does not move, and instead the two clusters connect via a new edge. Focusing on dimension d=1d=1, we show that for α>2\alpha>-2, at time tt, the cluster size is of order t1α+2t^\frac{1}{\alpha + 2}, and for α<2\alpha < -2 we get an infinite cluster in finite time a.s. Additionally, for α=0\alpha = 0 we show convergence in distribution of the scaling limit.
