A Convergence Rate for Extended-Source Internal DLA in the Plane

Abstract Internal DLA (IDLA) is an internal aggregation model in which particles perform random walks from the origin, in turn, and stop upon reaching an unoccupied site. Levine and Peres showed that, when particles start instead from fixed multiple-point distributions, the modified IDL...

Description
Summary:Abstract Internal DLA (IDLA) is an internal aggregation model in which particles perform random walks from the origin, in turn, and stop upon reaching an unoccupied site. Levine and Peres showed that, when particles start instead from fixed multiple-point distributions, the modified IDLA processes have deterministic scaling limits related to a certain obstacle problem. In this paper, we investigate the convergence rate of this “extended source” IDLA in the plane to its scaling limit. We show that, if $$\delta $$ δ is the lattice size, fluctuations of the IDLA occupied set are at most of order $$\delta ^{3/5}$$ δ 3 / 5 from its scaling limit, with probability at least $$1-e^{-1/\delta ^{2/5}}$$ 1 - e - 1 / δ 2 / 5 .
