Abstract
The stability of the diffusion growth of a plate in a channel with respect to the long wave fluctuations along the edge of
the plate is considered. The growth is found to be unstable for wavelengths larger than a critical value which is of the order
of the channel width. The destabilizing factor has the usual diffusive nature. The main stabilizing factor is connected to
the dependence of the growing plate width on the curvature of its edge.
