Convergent Calculation of the Asymptotic Dimension of Diffusion Limited Aggregates: Scaling and Renormalization of Small Clusters
Benny Davidovitch, Anders Levermann, Itamar Procaccia
Abstract
Diffusion Limited Aggregation (DLA) is a model of fractal growth that had attained a paradigmatic status due to its simplicity and its underlying role for a variety of pattern forming processes. We present a convergent calculation of the fractal dimension D of DLA based on a renormalization scheme for the first Laurent coefficient of the conformal map from the unit circle to the expanding boundary of the fractal cluster. The theory is applicable from very small (2-3 particles) to asymptotically large (n ∞) clusters. The computed dimension is D=1.713 0.003.
