Lawler, Bramson, and Griffeath proved that the resulting random set A(n) of n occupied sites is (with high probability) close to a disk B_r of radius r=\\sqrt{n/\\pi}. We show that the discrepancy between A(n) and the disk is at most logarithmic in the radius: i.e., there is an absolute constant C such that the following holds with probability one: B_{r - C \\log r} \\subset A(\\pi r^2) \\subset B_{r+ C \\log r} for all sufficiently large r.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-07-09T21:06:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60G50", "60K35", "82C24" ], "keywords": [ "internal dla", "logarithmic fluctuations", "perform simple random walk", "absolute constant", "resulting random set" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "AMS", "journal": "J.
