A toy model for DLA arm growth in a wedge

In this paper, we consider a non-homogeneous discrete-time Markov chain which can be seen as a toy model for the growth of the arms of the DLA (Diffusion limited aggregation) process in a sub-linear wedge. It is conjectured that in a thin enough linear wedge there is only one infinite arm in the DLA cluster and we demonstrate this phenomenon in our model. The technique follows a bootstrapping argument, in which we iteratively prove ever faster growth rate.
