Random tilings or packings in the plane are characterized by a size distribution of individual elements (domains) and by the statistics of neighbor relations between the domains. Most systems occurring in nature or technology have a…
Recently, the diffusion-limited cluster aggregation (DLCA) model was restudied as a real-world example of showing discontinuous percolation transitions (PTs). Because a larger cluster is less mobile in Brownian motion, it comes into contact…
The methods of determining the fractal dimension and irregularity scale in simulated galaxy catalogs and the application of these methods to the data of the 2dF and 6dF catalogs are analyzed. Correlation methods are shown to be correctly…
We suggest a new method for estimating the fractal dimension of the spatial distribution of galaxies, the method of selected cylinders. We show the capabilities of this method by constructing a two-point conditional column density for…
Quantifying the correlations between the position of a tagged tracer and the density of surrounding bath particles is crucial for understanding tracer diffusion in interacting particle systems, and for characterizing the response properties…
We study a class of dynamically constructed point processes in which at every step a new point (particle) is added to the current configuration with a distribution depending on the local structure around a uniformly chosen particle. This…
Diffusion-coagulation can be simply described by a dynamic where particles perform a random walk on a lattice and coalesce with probability unity when meeting on the same site. Such processes display non-equilibrium properties with strong…
We study the scaling relations between global properties of dwarf galaxies in the Local Group. In addition to quantifying the correlations between pairs of variables, we explore the "shape" of the distribution of galaxies in log parameter…
We study internal diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) on the two dimensional comb lattice. The comb lattice is a spanning tree of the euclidean lattice, and internal DLA is a random growth model, where simple random walks, starting one at a…
Series expansion methods are used to study directed bond percolation clusters on the square lattice whose lateral growth is restricted by a wall parallel to the growth direction. The percolation threshold $p_c$ is found to be the same as…

The two-dimensional comb lattice $C_2$ is a natural spanning tree of the Euclidean lattice $\mathbb{Z}^2$. We study three related cluster growth models on $C_2$: internal diffusion limited aggregation (IDLA), in which random walkers move on…
We analyze diffusion of particles on a two dimensional square lattice. Each lattice site contains an arbitrary number of particles. Interactions affect particles only in the same site, and are macroscopically represented by the excess…
A generalization of the random geometric graph (RGG) model is proposed by considering a set of points uniformly and independently distributed on a rectangle of unit area instead of on a unit square [0,1]^2. The topological properties of the…
This paper studies growth, percolation, and correlations in disordered fiber networks. We start by introducing a 2D continuum deposition model with effective fiber-fiber interactions represented by a parameter $p$ which controls the degree…
Diffusion Limited Aggregation and its generalization, Dielectric Breakdown model play an important role in physics, approximating a range of natural phenomena. Yet little is known about them, with the famous Kesten's estimate on the DLAs…
We develop the cluster expansion for the multidimensional multiscaled contours defined by three of us. These contours are suitable for long-range Ising models with interaction $J_{xy}=J(|x-y|)= J/|x-y|^\alpha$, $J>0$, and $\alpha>d$. As an…
A scaling theory is developed for diffusion-limited cluster aggregation in a porous medium, where the primary particles and clusters stick irreversibly to the walls of the pore space as well as to each other. Three scaling regimes are…
