Steady accretion of an elastic body on a hard spherical surface and the notion of a four-dimensional reference space

Taking the cue from experiments on actin growth on spherical beads, we formulate and solve a model problem describing the accretion of an incompressible elastic solid on a rigid sphere due to attachment of diffusing free particles. One of the peculiar characteristics of this problem is that accretio...
