Models of fractal growth commonly consider particles diffusing in a medium and that stick irreversibly to the forming aggregate when making contact for the first time. As shown by the well-known diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) model and…

Several models based on the diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) model were proposed and their scaling properties explored by computational and theoretical approaches. In this paper, we consider a new extension of the on-lattice DLA model in…

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…

For a class of aggregation models on the integer lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d\geq 2$, in which clusters are formed by particles arriving one after the other and sticking irreversibly where they first hit the cluster, including the classical…

In analogy to recent results on non-universal roughening in surface growth [Lam and Sander, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 69}, 3338 (1992)], we propose a variant of diffusion-limited aggregation ($DLA$) in which the radii of the particles are…

In this work, the transition between diffusion-limited and ballistic aggregation models was revisited using a model in which biased random walks simulate the particle trajectories. The bias is controlled by a parameter $\lambda$, which…

Diffusion-Limited Aggregation (DLA), the canonical model for non-equilibrium fractal growth, emerges from the simple rule of irreversible attachment by random walkers. Despite four decades of study, a unified computational framework…

Diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) assumes that particles perform pure random walk at a finite temperature and aggregate when they come close enough and stick together. Although it is well known that DLA in two dimensions results in a…
