Initial-distribution scaling conjecture for one-dimensional multi-particle DLA

Let Z1,Z2,Z_1,Z_2,\dots be independent identically distributed random variables with

EZ1=λ,Var(Z1)=σ2,\mathbb E Z_1=\lambda,\qquad \operatorname{Var}(Z_1)=\sigma^2,

and initialize the one-dimensional multi-particle Diffusion Limited Aggregation model with ZiZ_i particles at vertex ii. Let XtX_t be the size of the aggregate. Initial-distribution scaling conjecture. With high probability, Xt=Θ(t)X_t=\Theta(\sqrt t) if λ<1\lambda<1, Xt=Θ(t)X_t=\Theta(t) if λ>1\lambda>1, and Xt=Θ(t2/3)X_t=\Theta(t^{2/3}) if λ=1\lambda=1. Moreover, in the critical case,

{t2/3Xst}s>0d{0sZxdx}s>0,t,\left\{t^{-2/3}X_{st}\right\}_{s>0}\overset{d}{\longrightarrow}\left\{\int_0^s Z_x\,dx\right\}_{s>0},\qquad t\to\infty,

where ZtZ_t solves

dZt=(4σ24)Zt4dt+2σZt5/2dBt,dZ_t=(4\sigma^2-4)Z_t^4\,dt+2\sigma Z_t^{5/2}\,dB_t,

with Z0=Z_0=\infty. This conjecture concerns how the initial distribution affects the scaling limit, especially at criticality, where the aggregate is expected to grow faster than the time needed for large intervals to reach stationarity. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
