The process by which one may take a discrete model of a biophysical process and construct a continuous model based on it is of mathematical interest as well as being of practical use. In this paper, we first study the singular limit of a…
We study a natural growth process with competition, which was recently introduced to analyze MDLA, a challenging model for the growth of an aggregate by diffusing particles. The growth process consists of two first-passage percolation…
Internal Diffusion Limited Aggregation is an interacting particle system that describes the growth of a random cluster governed by the boundary harmonic measure seen from an internal point. Our paper studies IDLA in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ driven by…
We consider a system of $N$ particles on the real line that evolves through iteration of the following steps: 1) every particle splits into two, 2) each particle jumps according to a prescribed displacement distribution supported on the…
We study a class of interacting particle systems on $\mathbb{R}$ with two types. Particles evolve by independent jumps sampled from a fixed distribution, with type-dependent jump rates $v_+$, $v_-$ and stochastic type switching driven by…
The effect of introducing a mass dependent diffusion rate ~ m^{-alpha} in a model of coagulation with single-particle break up is studied both analytically and numerically. The model with alpha=0 is known to undergo a nonequilibrium phase…
We investigate the long-time behavior of the survival probability of a tagged particle in a single-file diffusion in a finite interval. The boundary conditions are of two types: 1) one boundary is absorbing the second is reflecting, 2) both…
We consider a time-continuous branching random walk on a one-dimensional lattice on which there is one center (lattice point) of particle generation, called branching source. The generation of particles in the branching source is described…
A simple, discrete, parametric model is proposed to describe conditional (correlated) deposition of particles on a surface and formation of a connecting (percolating) cluster. The surface changes spontaneously its properties (phase…
We study active run-and-tumble particles with an additional two-state internal variable characterizing their motile or non-motile state. Motile particles change irreversibly into non-motile ones upon collision with a non-motile particle.…
We introduce two models of biological aggregation, based on randomly moving particles with individual stochasticity depending on the perceived average population density in their neighbourhood. In the first-order model the location of each…
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 introduce a model of self-propelled particles carrying out a Brownian motion with a diffusion coefficient which depends on the local density of particles within a certain finite radius. Numerical simulations show that in a range of…
The incorporation of particle inertia into the usual mean field theory for particle aggregation and fragmentation in fluid flows is still an unsolved problem. We therefore suggest an alternative approach that is based on the dynamics of…
We study ballistic aggregation on a two dimensional square lattice, where particles move ballistically in between momentum and mass conserving coalescing collisions. Three models are studied based on the shapes of the aggregates: in the…
We consider a continuous-time symmetric branching random walk on the $d$-dimensional lattice, $d\ge 1$, and assume that at the initial moment there is one particle at every lattice point. Moreover, we assume that the underlying random walk…
We prove that the one dimensional Multi-Particle Diffusion Limited Aggregation model has linear growth whenever the particle density exceeds 1 answering a question of Kesten and Sidoravicius. As a corollary we prove linear growth in all…
Motivated by various recent experimental findings, we propose a dynamical model of intermittently self-propelled particles: active particles that recurrently switch between two modes of motion, namely an active run-state and a turn state,…
We study internal diffusion limited aggregation on $\mathbb{Z}$, where a cluster is grown incrementally by adding, for each random walk dispatched from the origin, the first site it reaches outside the cluster. We assume that the increment…
We propose a simple model of columnar growth through {\it diffusion limited aggregation} (DLA). Consider a graph $G_N\times\N$, where the basis has $N$ vertices $G_N:=\{1,\dots,N\}$, and two vertices $(x,h)$ and $(x',h')$ are adjacent if…
