The rotor-router model is a deterministic analogue of random walk. It can be used to define a deterministic growth model analogous to internal DLA. We prove that the asymptotic shape of this model is a Euclidean ball, in a sense which is…
We establish quantitative spherical shape theorems for rotor-router aggregation and abelian sandpile growth on the graphical Sierpinski gasket ($SG$) when particles are launched from the corner vertex. In particular, the abelian sandpile…
The main purpose of the present paper is to establish a link between quadrature surfaces (potential theoretic concept) and sandpile dynamics (Laplacian growth models). For this aim, we introduce a new model of Laplacian growth on the…
Building on earlier work of Diaconis and Fulton (1991) and Lawler, Bramson, and Griffeath (1992), Propp in 2001 defined a deterministic analogue of internal diffusion-limited aggregation. This growth model is a "convergent game" of the sort…
The growth form (or corona limit) of a tiling is the limit form of its coordination shells, i.e. its set of tiles located at a fixed distance from some tile. We give an overview of current results, conjectures and open questions about…
We study the macroscopic evolution of the growing cluster in the exactly solvable corner growth model with independent exponentially distributed waiting times. The rates of the exponentials are given by an addivitely separable function of…
We consider growing spheres seeded by random injection in time and space. Growth stops when two spheres meet leading eventually to a jammed state. We study the statistics of growth limited by packing theoretically in d dimensions and via…
We study a class of corner growth models in which the weights are either all exponentially or all geometrically distributed. The parameter of the distribution at site $(i, j)$ is $a_i+b_j$ in the exponential case and $a_ib_j$ in the…
We show that limit shapes for the stochastic 6-vertex model on a cylinder with the uniform boundary state on one end are solutions to the Burger type equation. Solutions to these equations are studied for step initial conditions. When the…
I consider how cell shape and environmental geometry affect the rate of nutrient capture and the consequent maximum growth rate of a cell, focusing on rod-like species like \textit{E.\ coli}. Simple modeling immediately implies that it is…
We investigate the growth of a crystal that is built by depositing cubes onto the inside of a corner. The interface of this crystal evolves into a limiting shape in the long-time limit. Building on known results for the corresponding…
The bead model is a random point field on $\mathbb{Z}\times\mathbb{R}$ which can be viewed as a scaling limit of dimer model. We prove that, in the scaling limit, the normalized height function of a uniformly chosen random bead…
We study the scaling limits of three different aggregation models on the integer lattice Z^d: internal DLA, in which particles perform random walks until reaching an unoccupied site; the rotor-router model, in which particles perform…
The rotor-router model is a deterministic analogue of random walk. It can be used to define a deterministic growth model analogous to internal DLA. We show that the set of occupied sites for this model on an infinite regular tree is a…
We investigate the limit shape of the single-source model for stochastic sandpiles on the integer line subject to $p$--topplings. In this model, an initial configuration of $n\in\mathbb{N}$ particles is placed at the origin and stabilized…
We study the equilibrium configurations related to the growth of an elastic fibre in a confining flexible ring. This system represents a paradigm for a variety of biological, medical, and engineering problems. We consider a simplified…
We examine the conjectured asymptotic shape of the three dimensional corner growth model [Olejarz et. al.,PRL, 108, 016102 (2012)] by mapping the model onto a restricted solid on solid model on a triangular lattice. By choosing appropriate…
We investigate the properties of a two-state sandpile model subjected to a confining potential in two dimensions. From the microdynamical description, we derive a diffusion equation, and find a stationary solution for the case of a…
We present a one-parameter extension of the raise and peel one-dimensional growth model. The model is defined in the configuration space of Dyck (RSOS) paths. Tiles from a rarefied gas hit the interface and change its shape. The adsorption…
We consider a one-dimensional discrete-space birth process with a bounded number of particle per site. Under the assumptions of the finite range of interaction, translation invariance, and non-degeneracy, we prove a shape theorem. We also…
