A new aggregation model. Application to town growth

A variant of the Eden model with noise reduction is presented. A site is occupied if it is visited p times but the neighboring sites are added to the potential sites not after occupancy but immediately after the first visit.

Description
Summary:A variant of the Eden model with noise reduction is presented. A site is occupied if it is visited p times but the neighboring sites are added to the potential sites not after occupancy but immediately after the first visit. It results in aggregates with a very different pattern from that of Eden aggregates. If p is large enough, scaling properties are observed. Possible application to the morphology of large towns is proposed.
