A class of nucleation and growth models of a stable phase (S-phase) is investigated for various different growth velocities. It is shown that for growth velocities $v\sim s(t)/t$ and $v\sim x/\tau(x)$, where $s(t)$ and $\tau$ are the mean…
We have studied $A+A \rightarrow \emptyset$ reaction-diffusion model on a ring, with a bias $\epsilon$ $(0 \leq \epsilon \leq 0.5)$ of the random walkers $A$ to hop towards their nearest neighbor. Though the bias is local in space and time,…
Let S_i be a random walk with standard exponential increments. We call \sum_{i=1}^k S_i its k-step area. The random variable V = \inf_{k \ge 1} \frac{2}{k(k+1)} \sum_{i=1}^k S_i plays important role in the study of so-called one-dimensional…
The kinetics of single-species annihilation, $A+A\to 0$, is investigated in which each particle has a fixed velocity which may be either $\pm v$ with equal probability, and a finite diffusivity. In one dimension, the interplay between…
The probability distribution of the number $s$ of distinct sites visited up to time $t$ by a random walk on the fully-connected lattice with $N$ sites is first obtained by solving the eigenvalue problem associated with the discrete master…
We study several one dimensional step flow models. Numerical simulations show that the slope of the profile exhibits scaling in all cases. We apply a scaling ansatz to the various step flow models and investigate their long time evolution.…
Natural ecosystems are characterized by striking diversity of form and functions and yet exhibit deep symmetries emerging across scales of space, time and organizational complexity. Species-area relationships and species-abundance…

The evolution of dispersal rate is studied with a model of several local populations linked by dispersal. Three dispersal strategies are considered where all, half, or none of the offspring disperse. The spatial scale (number of patches)…
We consider the fragmentation process with mass loss and discuss self-similar properties of the arising structure both in time and space, focusing on dimensional analysis. This exhibits a spectrum of mass exponents $\theta$, whose exact…
We show that a scaling approach successfully characterizes clustering and intermittency in space and time, in systems of noninteracting particles driven by fluctuating surfaces. We study both the steady state and the approach to it, for…
Many real-world scale-free networks, such as neural networks and online communication networks, consist of a fixed number of nodes but exhibit dynamic edge fluctuations. However, traditional models frequently overlook scenarios where the…
