✦ Synopsis


We simulate a model that captures all the features of the silver electrodeposition experiment in a rectangular cell. We study the bulk of the aggregates on the basis of a treeing process (M. Matsushita, P. Meakin, Cluster size distribution of self-affine fractals, Phys. Rev. A 37 (1988) 3645; F. RomaΒ΄, C.M. Horowitz, E.V. Albano, Numerical study of the development of bulk scale-free structures upon growth of self-affine aggregates, Phys. Rev. E 66 (2002) 066115). The model proposed is a diffusion limited process in 1 ΓΎ 1 dimension, where one dimension is the linear size L and the other the height. In our model the particles are dropped from the top of a rectangular lattice and are allowed to diffuse. The diffusion upwards is forbidden, whereas in the other directions the particles are allowed to diffuse with probability 1 Γ€ p to the lateral nearest neighbors positions and with probability p downwards. Here p takes into account the strength of the electric field. When a newly deposit particle has a nearest neighbor which belongs to only one tree, it sticks to that tree. If the particle has more than one nearest neighbor that belongs to different trees one of them is selected at random and the particle sticks to the chosen tree. We compute the r.m.s height h s , the r.m.s width w s and the size distribution of the trees N s as function of the mass s of the ''frozen'' trees for different values of p. We found that the scaling behavior with s of h s and N s depends on p, while w s does not depend on p. In the limit p ! 1, the values obtained for the exponents, that characterize the scaling behavior of the magnitudes studied here, are close between the error bars, with the one found in the experiment of silver electrodeposition (C.M.

When there are order constraints among the parameters of a binary, multinomial processing tree (MPT) model, methods have been developed for reparameterizing the constrained MPT into an equivalent unconstrained MPT. This note provides a theorem that is useful in computing bounds on the estimator vari
