Abstract:
We study the restricted solid on solid model for surface growth in spatial dimension d=2 by means of a multisurface coding technique that allows one to produce a large number of samples in the stationary regime in a reasonable computational time. Thanks to (i) a careful finite-size scaling analysis of the critical exponents and (ii) the accurate estimate of the first three moments of the height fluctuations, we can quantify the wandering exponent with unprecedented precision: χ(d=2)=0.3869(4). This figure is incompatible with the long-standing conjecture due to Kim and Koesterlitz that hypothesized χ(d=2)=2/5.

The first scenario occurs when a singular zero appears in the first column of the Routh table. This situation creates a division by zero issues. To resolve this, a small positive or negative number, denoted as epsilon (∈), is substituted for the zero. The stability analysis proceeds by assuming a sign for ∈. If ∈ is positive, any sign change in the first...
