Eden growth model
Encyclopedia
The Eden growth model describes the growth of specific types of clusters such as bacterial colonies
and deposition of materials. These clusters grow by random accumulation of material on their boundary. These are also an example of a surface fractal.
The model is named after Murray Eden (circa 1960–1961)
