Ballistic aggregation's stochastic differential approximation conjecture
Ballistic aggregation's stochastic differential approximation conjecture
Let be the horizontal coordinate of the ballistic aggregation process, let be its parameter, and let be Brownian motion. Define
Stochastic differential approximation conjecture. The process behaves like a continuous-time process satisfying
This conjecture formalizes the self-organized critical scaling suggested by the asymptotic drift and variance calculations. The supplied text does not state whether this approximation has been proved or disproved.
