The method is generally applicable to problems in both equilibrium and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics such as random sequential adsorption, diffusion-reaction dynamics, and Ising dynamics. A new result for random sequential adsorption of dimers on a square lattice is presented. © 1996 IOP Publishing Ltd.ArticleA1996UH36000001
