Diffusion Limited Aggregation (DLA) is a model of fractal growth that was introduced in 1981 and had since attained a paradigmatic status due to its simplicity and its underlying role for a variety of pattern forming processes. Despite…

Internal diffusion-limited aggregation is a growth model based on random walk in Z^d. We study how the shape of the aggregate depends on the law of the underlying walk, focusing on a family of walks in Z^2 for which the limiting shape is a…

The creation of fractal clusters by diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) is studied by using iterated stochastic conformal maps following the method proposed recently by Hastings and Levitov. The object of interest is the function…

A theoretical model for fractal growth of DLA-clusters in two- and three-dimensional Euclidean space is proposed. This model allows to study some statistical properties of growing clusters in two different situations: in the static case…

Using stochastic conformal mappings we study the effects of anisotropic perturbations on diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) in two dimensions. The harmonic measure of the growth probability for DLA can be conformally mapped onto a constant…

The growth of a diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) cluster with mass $M$ and radius of gyration $R$ is described by a set of growth probabilities $\{ p_i\}$, where $p_i$ is the probability that the perimeter site $i$ will be the next to…

We examine diffusion-limited aggregation for a one-dimensional random walk with long jumps. We achieve upper and lower bounds on the growth rate of the aggregate as a function of the number of moments a single step of the walk has. In this…

In this paper we study the structure of the limit aggregate $A_\infty = \bigcup_{n\geq 0} A_n$ of the one-dimensional long range diffusion limited aggregation process defined in [AABK09]. We show (under some regularity conditions) that for…

For real world systems, nonuniform medium is ubiquitous. Therefore, we investigate the diffusion-limited-aggregation process on a two dimensional directed small-world network instead of regular lattice. The network structure is established…

We discuss the scaling of characteristic lengths in diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) clusters in light of recent developments using conformal maps. We are led to the conjecture that the apparently anomalous scaling of lengths is due to…

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…

Diffusion-limited aggregation is consistent with simple scaling. However, strong subdominant terms are present, and these can account for various earlier claims of anomalous scaling. We show this in detail for the case of multiscaling.

We consider the following problem in one-dimensional diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA). At time $t$, we have an "aggregate" consisting of $\Bbb{Z}\cap[0,R(t)]$ [with $R(t)$ a positive integer]. We also have $N(i,t)$ particles at $i$,…
