The rotor-router model is a deterministic analogue of random walk. It can be used to define a deterministic growth model analogous to internal DLA. We prove that the asymptotic shape of this model is a Euclidean ball, in a sense which is stronger than our earlier work (Levine and Peres, Indiana Univ Math J 57(1):431–450, 2008). For the shape consisting of $n=\omega_d r^d$ sites, where ωd is the volume of the unit ball in $\mathbb{R}^d$, we show that the inradius of the set of occupied sites is…

We consider a cluster growth model on Zd, called internal diffusion limited aggregation (internal DLA). In this model, random walks start at the origin, one at a time, and stop moving when reaching a

A sandpile is a cellular automata on a subgraph $\Omega_h$ of ${h}\mathbb Z^2$ which evolves by the toppling rule: if the number of grains at a vertex is at least four, then it sends one grain to
