We consider a model of planar random aggregation from the ALE$(0,\eta)$ family where particles are attached preferentially in areas of low harmonic measure. We find that the model undergoes a phase transition in negative $\eta$, where for…

Using stochastic conformal mapping techniques we study the patterns emerging from Laplacian growth with a power-law decaying threshold for growth $R_N^{-\gamma}$ (where $R_N$ is the radius of the $N-$ particle cluster). For $\gamma > 1$ the…

Equations of the Loewner class subject to non-constant boundary conditions along the real axis, are formulated and solved giving the geodesic paths of slits growing in the upper half complex plane. The problem is motivated by Laplacian…

We propose a revision of the classic mean-field approach of diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) model originally introduced by Witten and Sander [Phys. Rev. Lett. 47, 1400 (1981)]. The derived nonlinear mean-field equations providing…

The method of iterated conformal maps for the study of Diffusion Limited Aggregates (DLA) is generalized to the study of Laplacian Growth Patterns and related processes. We emphasize the fundamental difference between these processes: DLA…

Models of fractal growth commonly consider particles diffusing in a medium and that stick irreversibly to the forming aggregate when making contact for the first time. As shown by the well-known diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) model and…

We study a regularized version of Hastings-Levitov planar random growth that models clusters formed by the aggregation of diffusing particles. In this model, the growing clusters are defined in terms of iterated slit maps whose capacities…

The paper suggests a generalisation of the diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) based on using a general stochastic process to control particle movements before sticking to a growing cluster. This leads to models with variable…

In the classical model of Diffusion Limited Aggregation (DLA), introduced by Witten and Sander, the process begins with a single particle cluster placed at the origin of a space, and then, one at a time, particles make a random walk from…

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…
