Simulations of diffusion-limited reactions over surfaces of Witten-Sander diffusion-limited aggregates (DLA) were performed using a Monte Carlo random walk algorithm. Multifractal analyses were then carried out on the reaction probability distribution to investigate the effect of fractal environment

โฆ Synopsis
We study the multifractal (MF) properties of the set of growth probabilities {p,} for 3D off-lattice diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA). We find that: (i) the {p,} display MF scaling for all moments-in contrast to 2D DLA, where one observes a "phase transition" in the MF spectrum for negative moments; (ii) multifractality is also displayed by the p, located in a shell of reduced radius x E r/R,, where R, is the radius of gyration of the cluster and r the radius of the shell; (iii) the average value a_ of a = -In p/In M in a shell of reduced radius n in a cluster of mass M is a function that does not depend on the cluster mass but only on x.

Di usion-limited aggregation is consistent with simple scaling. However, strong subdominant terms are present, and these can account for various earlier claims of anomalous scaling. We show this in detail for the case of multiscaling.
End-to-end diffusion-limited aggregation of an ideal, monodisperse pectin species with variable probability of interrmolecular crosslinking has been simulated on a lattice.

We investigate the scaling of cluster size with mass for zero-noise needle-star DLA clusters on the square (d = 2) and cubic (d = 3) lattices. We find that the clusters are essentially planar (D = 2). However, estimates of the isotropic self-similar fractal dimension via the radius of gyration yield
