Abstract: In a recent paper (Bogoyavlenskiy V A 2002 JPA extbf{35} 2533), an algorithm aiming to generate isotropic clusters of the on-lattice diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) model was proposed. The procedure consists of aggregation probabilities proportional to the squared number of occupied sites ($k^2$). In the present work, we analyzed this algorithm using the noise reduced version of the DLA model and large scale simulations. In the noiseless limit, instead of isotropic patterns, a $45^{c}irc$ ($30^{c}irc$) rotation in the anisotropy directions of the clusters grown on square (triangular) lattices was observed. A generalized algorithm, in which the aggregation probability is proportional to $k^u$, was proposed. The exponent $u$ has a nonuniversal critical value $u_c$, for which the patterns generated in the noiseless limit exhibit the original (axial) anisotropy for $u<u_c$ and the rotated one (diagonal) for $u>u_c$. The values $u_c=1.395pm0.005$ and $u_c=0.82pm0.01$ were found for square and triangular lattices, respectively. Moreover, large scale simulations show that there are a nontrivial relation between noise reduction and anisotropy direction. The case $u=2$ (�ogo's rule) is an example where the patterns exhibit the axial anisotropy for small and the diagonal one for large noise reduction.
