Two-dimensional structures grown with Witten and Sander algorithm are investigated. We analyze clusters grown off-lattice and clusters grown with antenna method with $N_{fp}=3,4,5,6,7$ and 8 allowed growth directions. With the help of…
We analyze the spread of a localized peak of energy into vacuum for nonlinear diffusive processes. In contrast with standard diffusion, the nonlinearity results in a compact wave with a sharp front separating the perturbed region from…
We study time series concerning rare events. The occurrence of a rare event is depicted as a jump of constant intensity always occurring in the same direction, thereby generating an asymmetric diffusion process. We consider the case where…
Cylindrical lattice diffusion limited aggregation (DLA), with a narrow width N, is solved for site-sticking conditions using a Markovian matrix method (which was previously developed for the bond-sticking case). This matrix contains the…
Motivated by the anomalous diffusion observed in clusters of active Brownian particles (ABPs), where the center-of-mass diffusion coefficient scales as $D\sim N^{-1/2}$ with respect to the number $N$ of particles in the cluster, we derive a…
The flow and deposition of polydisperse granular materials is simulated through the Magnetic Diffusion Limited Aggregation (MDLA) model. The random walk undergone by an entity in the MDLA model is modified such that the trajectories are…
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…
By carrying out Monte Carlo simulations,we study step bunching during solution growth. For simplicity, we consider a square lattice, which represents a diffusion field in a solution, and express the diffusion of atoms as the hopping of…
Despite a long history and a clear overall understanding of properties of random walks on an incipient infinite cluster in percolation, some important information on it seems to be missing in the literature. In the present work, we revisit…
Brownian particles that are replicated and annihilated at equal rate have strongly correlated positions, forming a few compact clusters separated by large gaps. We characterize the distribution of the particles at a given time, using a…
The diffusion of a particle in a crowded environment typically proceeds through three regimes: for very short times the particle diffuses freely until it collides with an obstacle for the first time, while for very long times diffusion the…
The emergence of clustering and coarsening in crowded ensembles of self-propelled agents is studied using a lattice model in one-dimension. The persistent exclusion process, where particles move at directions that change randomly at a low…
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…
We consider Diffusion Limited Aggregation (DLA) in a two-dimensional wedge. We prove that if the angle of the wedge is smaller than $\pi/4$, there is some $a>2$ such that almost surely, for all $R$ large enough, after time $R^a$ all new…
The growth exponent $\alpha$ for loop-erased or Laplacian random walk on the integer lattice is defined by saying that the expected time to reach the sphere of radius $n$ is of order $n^\alpha$. We prove that in two dimensions, the growth…
We investigate how large deviations events cluster in the framework of an infinite moving average process with light-tailed noise and long memory. The long memory makes clusters larger, and the asymptotic behaviour of the size of the…
We study an ensemble of random walkers carrying internal noisy phase oscillators which are synchronized among the walkers by local interactions. Due to individual mobility, the interaction partners of every walker change randomly, hereby…
Aggregation phenomena are ubiquitous in nature, encompassing out-of-equilibrium processes of fractal pattern formation, important in many areas of science and technology. Despite their simplicity, foundational models such as…
We study the growth of large scale structure in two recently proposed non-standard cosmological models: the brane induced gravity model of Dvali, Gabadadze and Porrati (DGP) and the Cardassian models of Freese and Lewis. A general formalism…
We consider the Zhang sandpile model in one-dimension (1D) with locally conservative (or dissipative) dynamics and examine its total energy fluctuations at the external drive time scale. The bulk-driven system leads to Lorentzian spectra,…
