Structural and computational depth of diffusion limited aggregation

Statistical Mechanics 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

Diffusion limited aggregation is studied from the perspective of computational complexity. A parallel algorithm is exhibited that requires a number of steps that scales as the depth of the tree defined by the cluster. The existence of this algorithm suggests a connection between a fundamental computational and structural property of DLA.
