Kinetics of aggregation and gelation

Abstract
We define six kinetic growth models that have witnessed an explosion of recent activity: Cancer Growth (Eden) Colloid Growth (Langer‐Müller‐Krumbhaar; Witten‐Sander) Breakdown (Sawada et al.) Crystallization (Rikvold) Invasion Percolation (Schlumberger group) Addition Polymerization (Manneville‐de Seze; Herrmann et al.) We also describe briefly some of the approaches used to study these models, with emphasis on the re normalization group approach being developed by us.
