Spherical Asymptotics for the Rotor-Router Model in Zd
Abstract
The rotor-router model is a deterministic analogue of random walk invented by Jim Propp. It can be used to define a deterministic aggregation model analogous to internal diffusion limited aggregation. We prove an isoperimetric inequality for the exit time of simple random walk from a finite region in Zd, and use this to prove that the shape of the rotor-router aggregation model in Zd, suitably rescaled, converges to a Euclidean ball in Rd.
