Renewal and memory properties in the random growth of surfaces Cakir, Rasit Grigolini, Paolo Ignaccolo, Massimiliano 2008-02-04 English In this article, the authors use the model of ballistic deposition as a simple way to establish cooperation among the columns of a growing surface, 'the single individual of the same society.' The authors show that cooperation generates memory properties and at same time non-Poisson renewal events. The variable generating memory can be regarded as the velocity of a particle driven by a bath with the same time scale, and the variable generating renewal processes is the corresponding diffusional coordinate. science of complexity renewal properties complex systems Public Article 8 p.
