We simulate a growth model with restricted surface relaxation process in d=1 and d=2, where d is the dimensionality of a flat substrate. In this model, each particle can relax on the surface to a local minimum, as the Edwards-Wilkinson…
We study the clustering properties of particles sliding downwards on a fluctuating surface evolving through the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation, a problem equivalent to passive scalars driven by a Burgers fluid. Monte Carlo simulations on a…

Experimental studies on the irreversible growth of field-induced chains of dipolar particles suggest an asymptotic power-law behavior of several relevant quantities. We introduce a Monte Carlo model of chain growth that explicitly…

To construct continuum stochastic growth equations for competitive nonequilibrium surface-growth processes of the type RD+X that mixes random deposition (RD) with a correlated-growth process X, we use a simplex decomposition of the height…
We study the dynamic scaling properties of an aggregation model in which particles obey both diffusive and driven ballistic dynamics. The diffusion constant and the velocity of a cluster of size $s$ follow $D(s) \sim s^\gamma$ and $v(s)…
We study the critical behavior for percolation on inhomogeneous random networks on $n$ vertices, where the weights of the vertices follow a power-law distribution with exponent $\tau \in (2,3)$. Such networks, often referred to as…

We studied scaling in kinetic roughening and phase ordering during growth of binary systems using 1+1 dimensional single-step solid-on-solid model with two components interacting via Ising-like interaction with the strength K. We found that…
We study two-component growth that mixes random deposition (RD) with a correlated growth process that occurs with probability p. We find that these composite systems are in the universality class of the correlated growth process. For RD…
We introduce a generalized homogeneous function to describe the joint probability density for magnitude and duration of events in self-organized critical systems (SOC). It follows that the cumulative distributions of magnitude and of…
We propose a unified moving boundary problem for surface growth by electrochemical and chemical vapor deposition, which is derived from constitutive equations into which stochastic forces are incorporated. We compute the coefficients in the…
We study dynamics and scaling exponents in a nonlinear network model inspired by the formation of planetary systems. Dynamics of this model leads to phase separation to two types of condensate, light and heavy, distinguished by how they…
We study the effect of generic spatial anisotropies on the scaling behavior in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation. In contrast to its "conserved" variants, anisotropic perturbations are found to be relevant in d > 2 dimensions, leading to…

The dynamic scaling of curved interfaces presents features that are strikingly different from those of the planar ones. Spherical surfaces above one dimension are flat because the noise is irrelevant in such cases. Kinetic roughening is…
