Border aggregation model

Thacker, Debleena LU and Volkov, Stanislav LU orcid (2018) In Annals of Applied Probability 28(3). p.1604-1633
Abstract
Start with a graph with a subset of vertices called {\it the border}. A particle released from the origin performs a random walk on the graph until it comes to the immediate neighbourhood of the border, at which point it joins this subset thus increasing the border by one point. Then a new particle is released from the origin and the process repeats until the origin becomes a part of the border itself. We are interested in the total number ξ of particles to be released by this final moment.
We show that this model covers OK Corral model as well as the erosion model, and obtain distributions and bounds for ξ in cases where the graph is star graph, regular tree, and a d−dimensional lattice.
