Abstract

We study the (1+1)(1+1)-dimensional Villain, Lai, and Das Sarma (VLDS) equation driven by a Gaussian white noise and implement a renormalization scheme without rescaling at one-loop order. Using a diagrammatic method, we calculate the renormalized second and third moments in the large-scale and long-time limits. The ensuing skewness value is S=0.0441S=-0.0441. This (negative) value is consistent with the numerical prediction of Das Sarma \emph{et al.} [Phys. Rev. E {\bf 53} 359 (1996)].
