چکیده
We simulate the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation in 2+1 dimensions. It is a non linear stochastic di erential equation which describes driven growing interfaces. The Hopf-Cole transformation is used in order to obtain a stable numerical scheme. The two relevant critical exponents are precisely measured. PACS numbers: 64.60.Ht, 05.40.+j, 05.70.Ln, 68.35.Fx

A Pseudo-spectral Method for the Kardar-parisi-zhang Equation
We discuss a numerical scheme to solve the continuum Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation in generic spatial dimensions. It is based on a momentum-space discretization of the continuum equation and on a pseudo-spectral approximation of the non-linear term. The method is tested in (1 + 1)and (2 + 1)dimensions, where it is shown to reproduce the current most reliable estimates of the critical exponents b...
متن کاملImproved discretization of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation
We propose a spatial discretization of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang ~KPZ! equation in 111 dimensions. The exact steady state probability distribution of the resulting discrete surfaces is explained. The effective diffusion coefficient, nonlinearity, and noise strength can be extracted from three correlators, and are shown to agree exactly with the nominal values used in the discrete equations. Impli...
متن کاملStrong-coupling behaviour in discrete Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equations
We present a systematic discretization scheme for the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation, which correctly captures the strong-coupling properties of the continuum model. In particular we show that the scheme contains no finite-time singularities in contrast to conventional schemes. The implications of these results to i) previous numerical integration of the KPZ equation, and ii) the non-trivia...
متن کاملMinimum action method for the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation.
We apply a numerical minimum action method derived from the Wentzell-Freidlin theory of large deviations to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation for the height profile of a growing interface. In one dimension we find that the transition pathway between different height configurations is determined by the nucleation and subsequent propagation of facets or steps, corresponding to moving domain walls ...
متن کاملUpper critical dimension of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation.
Numerical results for the directed polymer model in 1+4 dimensions in various types of disorder are presented. The results are obtained for a system size that is considerably larger than considered previously. For the extreme "strong" disorder case (min-max system), associated with the directed percolation model, the expected value of the meandering exponent, ζ=0.5, is clearly revealed, with ve...
