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…

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…

Diffusion-limited aggregation has a natural generalization to the "$\eta$-models", in which $\eta$ random walkers must arrive at a point on the cluster surface in order for growth to occur. It has recently been proposed that in spatial…
