Statistical Self-Similarity of One-Dimensional Growth Processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
For one-dimensional growth processes we consider the distribution of the height above a given point of the substrate and study its scale invariance in the limit of large times. We argue that for self-similar growth from a single seed the universal distribution is the Tracy-Widom distribution from the theory of random matrices and that for growth from a flat substrate it is some other, only numerically determined distribution. In particular, for the polynuclear growth model in the droplet geometry the height maps onto the longest increasing subsequence of a random permutation, from which the height distribution is identified as the Tracy-Widom distribution. PACS numbers: 02.50.Ey, 68.35.Ct

Nonlinear transverse cascade and two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic subcritical turbulence in plane shear flows.
We find and investigate via numerical simulations self-sustained two-dimensional turbulence in a magnetohydrodynamic flow with a maximally simple configuration: plane, noninflectional (with a constant shear of velocity), and threaded by a parallel uniform background magnetic field. This flow is spectrally stable, so the turbulence is subcritical by nature and hence it can be energetically suppo...
متن کاملOrdered Self-Similar Patterns in Anisotropic Stochastic Growth.
We propose an anisotropic stochastic growth model to rationalize the anisotropic self-assembly of supramolecules to form elongated two-dimensional ribbon structures in a recent experiment. The model exhibits distinct growth scenarios that are critically controlled by the ratio of the transverse and the longitudinal growth rate. In the regime of suppressed transverse growth, the model generates ...
متن کاملIntertwining Certain Fractional Derivatives
We obtain an intertwining relation between some Riemann-Liouville operators of order α ∈ (1, 2), connecting through a certain multiplicative identity in law the one-dimensional marginals of reflected completely asymmetric α−stable Lévy processes. An alternative approach based on recurrent extensions of positive self-similar Markov processes and exponential functionals of Lévy processes is also ...
متن کاملUsing Blinking Fractals for Mathematical Modeling of Processes of Growth in Biological Systems
Many biological processes and objects can be described by fractals. The paper uses a new type of objects – blinking fractals – that are not covered by traditional theories considering dynamics of self-similarity processes. It is shown that both traditional and blinking fractals can be successfully studied by a recent approach allowing one to work numerically with infinite and infinitesimal numb...
متن کاملAsymptotically One-dimensional Diiusions on Scale-irregular Gaskets
A simple class of fractals which lack exact self-similarity is introduced, and the asymptotically one-dimensional diiusion process is constructed. The process moves mostly horizontally for very small scales, while for large scales it diiuses almost isotropically, in the sense of the oo-horizontal relative jump rate for the decimated random walks of the process. An essential step in the construc...
