Abstract
A model for kinetic growth is presented that allows for overhangs and arbitrary topologies of the growing interface. Numerical studies of th e model show that with a choice of the aggregation mechanism equivalen t to the one leading to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation [Phys. Rev. Lett. 56, 889 (1986)], we indeed obtain the KPZ results. On chang ing the aggregation mechanism, different dynamics of the growth are ob served.
