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…

We investigate diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) in a wedge geometry. Arneodo and collaborators have suggested that the ensemble average of DLA cluster density should be close to the noise-free selected Saffman-Taylor finger. We show that…

I analyze the topological structures generated by diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA), using the recently developed "branched growth model". The computed bifurcation number B for DLA in two dimensions is B ~ 4.9, in good agreement with the…

We study the relation between stochastic and continuous transport-limited growth models, which generalize conformal-mapping formulations of diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) and viscous fingering, respectively. We derive a nonlinear…

Internal diffusion limited aggregation (IDLA) is a random aggregation model on a graph $G$, whose clusters are formed by random walks started in the origin (some fixed vertex) and stopped upon visiting a previously unvisited site. On the…

We identify sources of systematic error in traditional simulations of the Witten-Sander model of diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) on a square lattice. We present an algorithm that reduces these biases to below $10^{-12}$. We grow…

We study internal diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) on the two dimensional comb lattice. The comb lattice is a spanning tree of the euclidean lattice, and internal DLA is a random growth model, where simple random walks, starting one at a…

Predicting urban growth is important for practical reasons, and also for the challenge it presents to theoretical frameworks for cluster dynamics. Recently, the model of diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) has been applied to describe urban…

We examine diffusion-limited aggregation generated by a random walk on Z with long jumps. We derive upper and lower bounds on the growth rate of the aggregate as a function of the number moments a single step of the walk has. Under various…

Two-dimensional dendritic growth due to solute precipitation was simulated using a phase-field model reported earlier [Z. Xu and P. Meakin, J. Chem. Phys. 129, 014705 (2008)]. It was shown that diffusion-limited precipitation due to the…
