In this model, masses diffuse on a lattice, coalesce upon contact and adsorb unit mass from outside at a constant rate. Our exact calculation of the variance of mass at a given site proves explicitly, without making any assumption of scaling, that the upper critical dimension of the model is 2. We also extend our method to calculate the spatio-temporal correlations in a generalized class of models with aggregation, fragmentation and injection which include, in particular, the $q$-model of force fluctuations in bead packs. We present explicit expressions for the spatio-temporal force-force correlation function in the $q$-model. These can be used to test the applicability of the $q$-model in experiments.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2000-04-26T16:24:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "exact calculation", "spatio-temporal correlations", "force fluctuations", "bead packs", "takayasu model" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
