Abstract :
In this paper we present a statistical approach that clarifies the selection mechanism that governs the growth of fractal clusters generated by the dielectric breakdown model. Our results strongly suggest that an equilibrium thermodynamic description of nonstationary Laplacian growth process is possible, provided some morphological invariance is statistically present
