One Dimensional DLA

  • Omer Angel | University of British Columbia

Diffusion Limited Aggregation (DLA) is a notoriously difficult model for crystal growth introduced in 1981 by Sander and Witten. We consider a variation on DLA in 1 dimension generated by a random walk with large jumps. The growth rate of the diameter of the N particle aggregate depends on the tail of the step distribution, and exhibits three phase transitions when the walk steps have 1, 2 or 3 finite moments.
