Granular mixtures frequently segregate by grain size along the axis of partially-filled, horizontal, rotating tubes. When segregation approaches saturation at the surface, a well-defined pattern of bands with wavelength $\lambda$ emerges.…

We consider a simply supported plate with constant thickness, defined on an unknown multiply connected domain. We optimize its shape according to some given performance functional. Our method is of fixed domain type, easy to be implemented,…

This paper is about integral zonotopes. It is proven that large zonotopes in a convex cone have a limit shape, meaning that, after suitable scaling, the overwhelming majority of the zonotopes are very close to a fixed convex set. Several…

Laplacian growth is the study of interfaces that move in proportion to harmonic measure. Physically, it arises in fluid flow and electrical problems involving a moving boundary. We survey progress over the last decade on discrete models of…

We discuss some features of a boundary value problem for a system of PDEs that describes the growth of a sandpile in a container under the action of a vertical source. In particular, we characterize the long-term behavior of the profiles,…

A subset of the Hamming cube over $n$-letter alphabet is said to be $d$-maximal if its diameter is $d$, and adding any point increases the diameter. Our main result shows that each $d$-maximal set is either of size at most $(n+o(n))^d$ or…

The lilypond model on a point process in $d$-space is a growth-maximal system of non-overlapping balls centred at the points. We establish central limit theorems for the total volume and the number of components of the lilypond model on a…

We prove the existence of a limit shape for the dimer model on planar periodic bipartite graphs with an arbitrary fundamental domain and arbitrary periodic weights. This proof is based on a variational principle that uses the locality of…

We study scaling limits of exploding Abelian sandpiles using ideas from percolation and front propagation in random media. We establish sufficient conditions under which a limit shape exists and show via a family of counterexamples that…

We prove a shape theorem for rotor-router aggregation on the comb, for a specific initial rotor configuration and clockwise rotor sequence for all vertices. Furthermore, as an application of rotor-router walks, we describe the harmonic…

We propose an approach to statistical systems on lattices with sphere-like topology. Focusing on the Ising model, we consider the thermodynamic limit along a sequence of lattices which preserve the {\em fixed} large scale geometry. The…

We have identified some necessary conditions for the existence of rigid sphere designs. In particular, we have successfully resolved the conjecture proposed by [Ban87]; Given fixed positive integers t and d, we show that there exist only…

In this work we are considering the behavior of the limit shape of Young diagrams associated to random permutations on the set $\{1,\dots,n\}$ under a particular class of multiplicative measures. Our method is based on generating functions…

We study in this paper the atomic mechanisms of nanorod growth and propose the way of diameter selection of nanorod. A characteristic radius is demonstrated to be crucial in nanorod growth, which increases proportional to one fifth power of…

In this paper, we study the bead model: beads are threaded on a set of wires on the plane represented by parallel straight lines. We add the constraint that between two consecutive beads on a wire; there must be exactly one bead on each…

Dendrites with developed sidebranches are numerically studied with a coupled map lattice model. The competitive dynamics among sidebranches determines the shape of the envelope. The envelope has a parabolic shape near the tip of the…

Colored tensor models generalize matrix models in arbitrary dimensions yielding a statistical theory of random higher dimensional topological spaces. They admit a 1/N expansion dominated by graphs of spherical topology. The simplest tensor…

We present exact results for a lattice model of cluster growth in 1D. The growth mechanism involves interface hopping and pairwise annihilation supplemented by spontaneous creation of the stable-phase, +1, regions by overturning the…

A sandpile is a cellular automaton on a graph that evolves by the following toppling rule: if the number of grains at a vertex is at least its valency, then this vertex sends one grain to each of its neighbors. In the study of pattern…

With the present paper we conclude the presentation of a semianalytical model of hierarchical clustering of bound virialized objects formed by gravitational instability from a random Gaussian field of density fluctuations. In paper I, we…
