Phys. Rev. E 54, R3079 - R3081 (1996)Scaling for random walks on Eden trees
F. D. A. Aarão Reis *
Random walks are simulated on finite stages of construction of Eden trees in dimensions D=2 and 3, and it is shown that the mean-square displacement 〈RN2〉 of N-step walks and the mean number of distinct visited sites 〈SN〉 obey finite-size scaling. Accurate estimates of the dimensions of the random walks Dw are obtained and the relation 〈SN〉∼ND / Dw / (logN)α is shown to hold in these fractals, with positive exponents α. Then the Alexander-Orbach scaling relation Ds=2D / Dw is satisfied, where Ds is the spectral dimension, contrary to previous proposals in these and other treelike structures. ©1996 The American Physical Society
