This very recent paper proposes a nonlinear, kinetic equation for the average growth velocity. A stationary growth velocity, expected to be valid for very low T and H, is numerically obtained. It should be interesting to compare the results of this approach with those of the single-step and PNG models, as well as with those of the present approach.
