Abstract:
We use the Monte Carlo method to compute the number of trees with n edges in the Eden model on $d$-dimensional simple cubic lattices for $d=2,3,4,6,8,10$. We compare these numbers with the exact data derived by the enumeration method up to $n=12$ on the square lattice and up to $n=10$ on the cubic lattice. We find that for $d\geq3$, the computed values of the growth parameter for trees agree with the values that we derived earlier by the expansion in inverse powers of $2d-1$.
