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…
We introduce a lattice gas model of cluster growth via the diffusive aggregation of particles in a closed system obeying a local, deterministic, microscopically reversible dynamics. This model roughly corresponds to placing the irreversible…

We consider the DLA process on a cylinder G x N. It is shown that this process "grows arms", provided that the base graph G has small enough mixing time. Specifically, if the mixing time of G is at most (log|G|)^(2-\eps), the time it takes…

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…
Diffusion-Limited Aggregation (DLA) is a cluster-growth model that consists in a set of particles that are sequentially aggregated over a two-dimensional grid. In this paper, we introduce a biased version of the DLA model, in which…
A recently proposed theory for diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA), which models this system as a random branched growth process, is reviewed. Like DLA, this process is stochastic, and ensemble averaging is needed in order to define…
We consider a cluster growth model on Z^d, called internal diffusion limited aggregation (internal DLA). In this model, random walks start at the origin, one at a time, and stop moving when reaching a site not occupied by previous walks. It…
