Condensation and evaporation on a randomly occupied square lattice [PDF]

, 2002
We study the evolution of an initially random distribution of particles on a square lattice, under certain rules for `growing' and `culling' of particles. In one version we allow the particles to move laterally along the surface (mobile layer) and in the
