Abstract
A mean field argument is presented for the Hausdorff dimension of the diffusion-limited aggregates in analogy with the Flory theory of polymer chains. The concept of ideal aggregate is introduced. The results are favorably compared with those of computer simulations. Other related aggregates are also briefly discussed.
