Abstract
We examine the branch structure of radial diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) clusters for evidence of
multifractality. The lacunarity of DLA clusters is measured and the generalized dimensions D(q) of their mass
distribution is estimated using the sandbox method. We find that the global n-fold symmetry of the aggregates
can induce anomalous scaling behavior into these measurements. However, negating the effects of this symmetry,
standard scaling is recovered.
