An extension of coupled maps is given which allows for the growth of the number of elements, and is inspired by the cell differentiation problem. The growth of elements is made possible first by clustering the phases, and then by…
Inspired by theories such as Loop Quantum Gravity, a class of stochastic graph dynamics was studied in an attempt to gain a better understanding of discrete relational systems under the influence of local dynamics. Unlabeled graphs in a…
In this paper we address the one-dimensional problem of stochastic renewal in different damping environments. An ensemble of particles with some specified initial distribution in phase space are allowed to evolve stochastically till a…
We study kinetic and jamming properties of a space covering process in one dimension. The stochastic process is defined as follows: Seeds are nucleated randomly in space and produce rays which grow with a constant velocity. The growth stops…
What happens when a continuously evolving stochastic process is interrupted with large changes at random intervals $\tau$ distributed as a power-law $\sim \tau^{-(1+\alpha)};\alpha>0$? Modeling the stochastic process by diffusion and the…
We study numerically domain growth and interface fluctuations in one- and two-dimensional lattice systems composed of four species that interact in a cyclic way. Particle mobility is implemented through exchanges of particles located on…
In exponential population growth, variability in the timing of individual division events and environmental factors (including stochastic inoculation) compound to produce variable growth trajectories. In several stochastic models of…
Inhomogeneities in deposition may lead to formation of rough surfaces, whose height fluctuations can be probed directly by scanning microscopy, or indirectly by scattering. Analytical or numerical treatments of simple growth models suggest…
We study the dynamics of an exactly solvable lattice model for inhomogeneous interface growth. The interface grows deterministically with constant velocity except along a defect line where the growth process is random. We obtain exact…
We consider the curvature driven dynamics of a domain wall separating two equivalent states in systems displaying a modulational instability of a flat front. We derive an amplitude equation for the dynamics of the curvature close to the…
The spacetime discreteness of causal set theory has enabled the formulation of novel spacetime dynamics. In these so-called "growth" dynamics, a causal set spacetime is generated probabilistically by means of a random walk on certain tree…
Models relating to the Species-Area curve are usually defined at the species level, and concerned only with ecological timescales. We examine an individual-based model of co-evolution on a spatial lattice based on the Tangled Nature model,…
Cell growth in size is a complex process coordinated by intrinsic and environmental signals. In a recent work [Tzur et al., Science, 2009, 325:167-171], size distributions in an exponentially growing population of mammalian cells were used…
The linear growth rate is commonly defined through a simple deterministic relation between the velocity divergence and the matter overdensity in the linear regime. We introduce a formalism that extends this to a nonlinear, stochastic…
Many physical phenomena occur on domains that grow in time. When the timescales of the phenomena and domain growth are comparable, models must include the dynamics of the domain. A widespread intrinsically slow transport process is…
We study the evolution of thick domain walls in the different models of cosmological inflation, in the matter-dominated and radiation-dominated universe, or more generally in the universe with the equation of state $p=w\rho$. We have found…
We propose new analytical tools for describing growth-rate distributions generated by stationary time-series. Our analysis shows how deviations from normality are not pathological behaviour, as suggested by some traditional views, but…
We study conserved models of crystal growth in one dimension [$\partial_t z(x,t) =-\partial_x j(x,t)$] which are linearly unstable and develop a mound structure whose typical size L increases in time ($L = t^n$). If the local slope ($m…
Tissue growth underpins a wide array of biological and developmental processes, and numerical modeling of growing systems has been shown to be a useful tool for understanding these processes. However, the phenomena that can be captured are…
We consider stochastic matrix models for population driven by random environments which form a Markov chain. The top Lyapunov exponent $a$, which describes the long-term growth rate, depends smoothly on the demographic parameters…
