Outer-perimeter proportion conjecture for high-dimensional Eden models

For each dimension d>1d>1, let Pd(t)P_d(t) be the volume of the site perimeter of the dd-dimensional Eden growth model, and let OutPd(t)\operatorname{OutP}_d(t) be the volume of its outer perimeter.

Outer-perimeter proportion conjecture. There exists a number perd>0\operatorname{per}_d>0 such that

OutPd(t)Pd(t)perd\frac{\operatorname{OutP}_d(t)}{P_d(t)}\longrightarrow\operatorname{per}_d

almost surely as tt\rightarrow\infty. Moreover,

limdperd=1.\lim_{d\to\infty}\operatorname{per}_d=1.

Simulations suggest convergence to a dimension-dependent proportion, while available data are insufficient to estimate the limiting values reliably in dimensions three through five. The asserted convergence and high-dimensional limit remain unproved in the source.
