We revisit the method of cumulants for analysing dynamic light scattering data in particle sizing applications. Here the data, in the form of the time correlation function of scattered light, is written as a series involving the first few…

The fractal dimension $D$ is used to map the large-scale galaxy distribution in the Universe by color types: blue, green and red. Using a $NUVrK$-complete COSMOS2020 subsample of 618,952 galaxies observed up to $z=4$, number densities were…

We consider the DLA process on a cylinder G x N. It is shown that this process "grows arms", provided that the base graph G has small enough mixing time. Specifically, if the mixing time of G is at most (log|G|)^(2-\eps), the time it takes…

The size distribution of dust particles in nuclear fusion devices is close to the power function. A function of this kind can be the result of brittle destruction. From the similarity assumption it follows that the size distribution obeys…

Internal diffusion-limited aggregation (IDLA) is a stochastic growth model on a graph $G$ which describes the formation of a random set of vertices growing from the origin (some fixed vertex) of $G$. Particles start at the origin and…

Several materials, such as rocks, powders and molecules, are multi-component systems. However, compared to single-component systems, it is difficult to understand the physical component. In this study, as a coarse-grained model for powders…

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)…
