Abstract
The coupled nonlinear partial differential equations for diffusion-controlled aggregation are solved analytically for dimension by a series expansion in kinks with propagation velocity . It is shown that the critical velocity , where is a parameter in these equations, and is a constant which depends on , and is evaluated for . A bounded initial seed density always grows asymptotically at this critical velocity.
