Abstract: The shape of large on-lattice Eden clusters grown from a single seed is ruled by the underlying lattice anisotropy. This is reflected on the linear growth with time of the interface width (wsimt), in contrast with the KPZ universality class (wsimt1/3) observed when the Eden model is grown on flat substrates. We propose an extended Eden model, in which the growth probability has a power law dependence with the number of occupied nearest neighbors. Large scale simulations (Ngtrsim4imes109 particles) were used to determine the time evolution of w. We found that a suitable choice of the power exponent removes the lattice-induced cluster anisotropy and provides a growth exponent in very good agreement with the KPZ universality class. Also, the present model corroborates the results found in off-lattice simulations, in which the center of mass fluctuations are considered in the interface scaling analysis.
