We study the angular diffusion in a classical $d-$dimensional inertial XY model with interactions decaying with the distance between spins as $r^{-\alpha}$, wiht $\alpha\geqslant 0$. After a very short-time ballistic regime, with…
Anomalous dynamics in which local perturbations spread faster than diffusion are ubiquitously observed in the long-time behavior of a wide variety of systems. Here, the manner by which such systems evolve towards their asymptotic…
We propose a revision of the classic mean-field approach of diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) model originally introduced by Witten and Sander [Phys. Rev. Lett. 47, 1400 (1981)]. The derived nonlinear mean-field equations providing…
We study one-dimensional multi-particle Diffusion Limited Aggregation (MDLA) at its critical density $\lambda=1$. Previous works have verified that the size of the aggregate $X_t$ at time $t$ is $t^{1/2}$ in the subcritical regime and…
Motivated by novel results in the theory of correlated sequences, we analyze the dynamics of random walks with long-term memory (binary chains with long-range correlations). In our model, the probability for a unit bit in a binary string…
A new approach to the modeling of nonfree particle diffusion is presented. The approach uses a general setup based on geometric graphs (networks of curves), which means that particle diffusion in anything from arrays of barriers and pore…
We review and study a one-parameter family of functional transformations, denoted by $(S^{(\beta)})_{\beta\in \R}$, which, in the case $\beta<0$, provides a path realization of bridges associated to the family of diffusion processes…
Deposits of dipolar particles are investigated by means of extensive Monte Carlo simulations. We found that the effect of the interactions is described by an initial, non-universal, scaling regime characterized by orientationally ordered…
The change from the diffusion-limited to the reaction-limited cooperative behaviour in reaction-diffusion systems is analysed by comparing the universal long-time behaviour of the coagulation-diffusion process on a chain and on the Bethe…
Starting from the model of continuous time random walk, we focus our interest on random walks in which the probability distributions of the waiting times and jumps have fat tails characterized by power laws with exponent between 0 and 1 for…
The evolution of the allelic proportion $x$ of a biallelic locus subject to the forces of mutation and drift is investigated in a diffusion model, assuming small scaled mutation rates. The overall scaled mutation rate is parametrized with…
We consider biased random walks in a one-dimensional percolation model. This model goes back to Axelson-Fisk and H\"aggstr\"om and exhibits the same phase transition as biased random walk on the infinite cluster of supercritical Bernoulli…
We study the nature of the phase transition in the multifractal formalism of the harmonic measure of Diffusion Limited Aggregates (DLA). Contrary to previous work that relied on random walk simulations or ad-hoc models to estimate the low…
A microscopic model of the effect of unbinding in diffusion limited aggregation based on a cellular automata approach is presented. The geometry resembles electrochemical deposition - ``ions'' diffuse at random from the top of a container…
According to the classical theory of Brownian motion, the mean squared displacement of diffusing particles evolves linearly with time whereas the distribution of their displacements is Gaussian. However, recent experiments on mesoscopic…
We study the asymptotic position distribution of general quantum walks on a lattice, including walks with a random coin, which is chosen from step to step by a general Markov chain. In the unitary (i.e., non-random) case, we allow any…
Motivated by the anomalous diffusion observed in clusters of active Brownian particles (ABPs), where the center-of-mass diffusion coefficient scales as $D\sim N^{-1/2}$ with respect to the number $N$ of particles in the cluster, we derive a…
Irreversible diffusion limited cluster aggregation (DLCA) of hard spheres was simulated using Brownian cluster dynamics. Bound spheres were allowed to move freely within a specified range, but no bond breaking was allowed. The structure and…
We study time series concerning rare events. The occurrence of a rare event is depicted as a jump of constant intensity always occurring in the same direction, thereby generating an asymmetric diffusion process. We consider the case where…
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…
