We obtain the harmonic measure of diffusion-limited aggregate (DLA) clusters using a biased random-walk sampling technique which allows us to measure probabilities of random walkers hitting sections of clusters with unprecedented accuracy; our results include probabilities as small as 10^(-80). We find the multifractal D(q) spectrum including regions of small and negative q. Our algorithm allows us to obtain the harmonic measure for clusters more than an order of magnitude larger than those achieved using the method of iterative conformal maps, which is the previous best method. We find a phase transition in the singularity spectrum f(alpha) at alpha approximately equal to 14 and also find a minimum q of D(q), q_{min} = 0.9 plus or minus 0.05.

The method of iterated conformal maps allows to study the harmonic measure of Diffusion Limited Aggregates with unprecedented accuracy. We employ this method to explore the multifractal properties of the measure, including the scaling of the measure in the deepest fjords that were hitherto screened away from any numerical probing. We resolve probabilities as small as $10^{-35}$, and present an accurate determination of the generalized dimensions and the spectrum of singularities. We show that the generalized dimensions $D_q$ are infinite for $q<q^*$, where $q^*$ is of the order of -0.2. In the language of $f(alpha)$ this means that $alpha_{max}$ is finite. The $f(alpha)$ curve loses analyticity (the phenomenon of phase transition) at $alpha_{max}$ and a finite value of $f(alpha_{max})$. We consider the geometric structure of the regions that support the lowest parts of the harmonic measure, and thus offer an explanation for the phase transition, rationalizing the value of $q^*$ and $f(alpha_{max})$. We thus offer a satisfactory physical picture of the scaling properties of this multifractal measure.
We obtain the harmonic measure of the hulls of critical percolation clusters and Ising-model Fortuin-Kastelyn clusters using a biased random-walk sampling technique which allows us to measure probabilities as small as 10^{-300}. We find the multifrac tal D(q) spectrum including regions of small and negative q. Our results for external hulls agree with Duplantiers theoretical predictions for D(q) and his exponent -23/24 for the harmonic measure probability distribution. For the complete hull, we find the probability decays with an exponent of -1 for both systems.
We study the nature of the phase transition in the multifractal formalism of the harmonic measure of Diffusion Limited Aggregates (DLA). Contrary to previous work that relied on random walk simulations or ad-hoc models to estimate the low probability events of deep fjord penetration, we employ the method of iterated conformal maps to obtain an accurate computation of the probability of the rarest events. We resolve probabilities as small as $10^{-70}$. We show that the generalized dimensions $D_q$ are infinite for $q<q^*$, where $q^*= -0.17pm 0.02$. In the language of $f(alpha)$ this means that $alpha_{max}$ is finite. We present a converged $f(alpha)$ curve.
We study the time until first occurrence, the first-passage time, of rare density fluctuations in diffusive systems. We approach the problem using a model consisting of many independent random walkers on a lattice. The existence of spatial correlatio ns makes this problem analytically intractable. However, for a mean-field approximation in which the walkers can jump anywhere in the system, we obtain a simple asymptotic form for the mean first-passage time to have a given number k of particles at a distinguished site. We show numerically, and argue heuristically, that for large enough k, the mean-field results give a good approximation for first-passage times for systems with nearest-neighbour dynamics, especially for two and higher spatial dimensions. Finally, we show how the results change when density fluctuations anywhere in the system, rather than at a specific distinguished site, are considered.
The change from the diffusion-limited to the reaction-limited cooperative behaviour in reaction-diffusion systems is analysed by comparing the universal long-time behaviour of the coagulation-diffusion process on a chain and on the Bethe lattice. On a chain, this model is exactly solvable through the empty-interval method. This method can be extended to the Bethe lattice, in the ben-Avraham-Glasser approximation. On the Bethe lattice, the analysis of the Laplace-transformed time-dependent particle-density is analogous to the study of the stationary state, if a stochastic reset to a configuration of uncorrelated particles is added. In this stationary state logarithmic corrections to scaling are found, as expected for systems at the upper critical dimension. Analogous results hold true for the time-integrated particle-density. The crossover scaling functions and the associated effective exponents between the chain and the Bethe lattice are derived.
