1. Hello, I got this project to show DLA on matlab. I have to write up the pseudocode, which is basically just a code explaining the bare bones of the solution. It contains no coding. I'm just wondering if I have enough information or if I'm running low. Its the first time I heard of DLA so I'm not sure if my pseudocode is good.





2. none.



3. Create a system of 100 particles with 100 time steps. A (0,0) empty matrix particle. 51 x 51 matrix of zeros. Plot the trajectory. The mean displacement is zero. Generate random numbers using the 'rand' function in matlab. Insert the first particle seed. This lands and stays. At the origin generate a particle some distance away. Within 10 steps of the origin. This is randomly selected. A 2d random walk is created, to create the random motion of the particles. The second part is to investigate when the particle joins a cluster.

I don't know if I've described as well as I good above but I'm new to this topic. Any help is appreciated.

Hi there! It sounds like you have a good start on your pseudocode for simulating DLA on Matlab. It's great that you have a clear understanding of the steps involved and are using the 'rand' function to generate random numbers for the particle motion.

One suggestion I have is to add more detail to your pseudocode, such as specific variable names and any necessary calculations or conditions. This will make it easier to translate into actual code later on. It may also be helpful to include some comments or notes to explain each step in more detail.

Additionally, you may want to consider including some error handling or edge cases in your pseudocode, such as what happens if a particle lands on the same spot as another particle or if it goes outside of the 51x51 matrix.

Overall, it looks like you have a good understanding of the concept and have a solid start on your pseudocode. Keep refining and adding more detail as needed, and don't hesitate to reach out for help if you run into any roadblocks. Good luck with your project!
