Abstract
We study statistical scale invariance and dynamic scaling in a simple solid-on-solid 2+1 - dimensional limited mobility discrete model of nonequilibrium surface growth, which we believe should describe the low temperature kinetic roughening properties of molecular beam epitaxy. The model exhibits long-lived ``transient'' anomalous and multiaffine dynamic scaling properties similar to that found in the corresponding 1+1 - dimensional problem. Using large-scale simulations we obtain the relevant scaling exponents, and compare with continuum theories.
