Originally motivated by the morphogenesis of bacterial microcolonies, the aim of this article is to explore models through different scales for a spatial population of interacting, growing and dividing particles. We start from a microscopic…
We analyze a quasi-continuous linear chain with self-similar distribution of harmonic interparticle springs as recently introduced for one dimension (Michelitsch et al., Phys. Rev. E 80, 011135 (2009)). We define a continuum limit for one…
It is natural to expect that there are only three possible types of scaling limits for the collection of all percolation interfaces in the plane: (1) a trivial one, consisting of no curves at all, (2) a critical one, in which all points of…
We study the random simple connected cubic planar graph $\mathsf{C}_n$ with an even number $n$ of vertices. We show that the Brownian map arises as Gromov--Hausdorff--Prokhorov scaling limit of $\mathsf{C}_n$ as $n \in 2 \ndN$ tends to…
In this paper, we present results of extensive Monte Carlo simulations of diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) with a seed placed on an attractive plane as a simple model in connection with the electrical double layers. We compute the…
The evolution of the allelic proportion $x$ of a biallelic locus subject to the forces of mutation and drift is investigated in a diffusion model, assuming small scaled mutation rates. The overall scaled mutation rate is parametrized with…
We analyse the aggregate Loewner evolution (ALE), introduced in 2018 by Sola, Turner and Viklund to generalise versions of diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) in the plane using complex analysis. They showed convergence of the ALE for…
We study the percolation properties of the growing clusters model. In this model, a number of seeds placed on random locations on a lattice are allowed to grow with a constant velocity to form clusters. When two or more clusters eventually…
A recent preprint (arXiv:1402.2632) introduced a growth procedure for planar maps, whose almost sure limit is "the uniform infinite 3-connected planar map". A classical construction of Brooks, Smith, Stone and Tutte (1940) associates a…
We regularize the Laplacian growth problem with zero surface tension by introducing a short-distance cutoff $\hbar$, so that the change of the area of domains is quantized and equals an integer multiple of the area quanta $\hbar$. The…
In a one-parameter model for evolution of random trees, which also includes the Barabasi-Albert random tree, almost sure behavior and the limiting distribution of the degree of a vertex in a fixed position are examined. Results about Polya…
The dynamics of a population undergoing selection is a central topic in evolutionary biology. This question is particularly intriguing in the case where selective forces act in opposing directions at two population scales. For example, a…
Let $f$ be a birational map of ${\bf C}^d$, and consider the degree complexity, or asymptotic degree growth rate $\delta(f)=\lim_{n\to\infty}({\rm deg}(f^n))^{1/n}$. We introduce a family of elementary maps, which have the form $f=L\circ…
Critical, or scale independent, systems are so ubiquitous, that gaining theoretical insights on their nature and properties has many direct repercussions in social and natural sciences. In this report, we start from the simplest possible…
We introduce perhaps the simplest models of graph evolution with choice that demonstrate discontinuous percolation transitions and can be analyzed via mathematical evolution equations. These models are local, in the sense that at each step…
The idealized general model of aggregate growth is considered on the basis of the simple additive rules that correspond to one-step aggregation process. The two idealized cases were analytically investigated and simulated by Monte Carlo…
For the aggregation equation in $\mathbb{R}$, we consider the evolution of an initial density corresponding to the characteristic function of some set $\Omega_0$. We study the limit measure at the blow up time 1 for $\Omega_0$ open or…
We discuss the space-time determinantal random field which arises for the PNG model in one dimension and resembles the one for Dyson's Brownian motion. The information of interest for growth processes is carried by the edge statistics of…
We characterize and describe all random subsets $K$ of a given simply connected planar domain (the upper half-plane $\H$, say) which satisfy the ``conformal restriction'' property, i.e., $K$ connects two fixed boundary points (0 and…
We study domain growth properties of two species of particles executing biased diffusion on a half-filled square lattice, consisting of just two lanes. Driven in opposite directions by an external ``electric'' field, the particles form…
