We use the $(1+1)$-dimensional Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation driven by a Gaussian white noise and employ the dynamic renormalization-group of Yakhot and Orszag without rescaling [J.~Sci.\ Comput.~{\bf 1}, 3 (1986)]. Hence we calculate the…
The dynamic scaling of curved interfaces presents features that are strikingly different from those of the planar ones. Spherical surfaces above one dimension are flat because the noise is irrelevant in such cases. Kinetic roughening is…
In this article we will present a study of the well-known Kardar-Parisi-Zhang(KPZ) model. Under certain conditions we have found analytic self-similar solutions for the underlying equation. The results are strongly related to the error…
We study the solution of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation for the stochastic growth of an interface of height $h(x,t)$ on the positive half line, equivalently the free energy of the continuum directed polymer in a half space with a…
Two-dimensional (2D) KPZ growth is usually investigated on substrates of lateral sizes $L_x=L_y$, so that $L_x$ and the correlation length ($\xi$) are the only relevant lengths determining the scaling behavior. However, in cylindrical…
We present an analytical method, rooted in the non-perturbative renormalization group, that allows one to calculate the critical exponents and the correlation and response functions of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) growth equation in all…
We study height fluctuations of interfaces in the $(1+1)$-dimensional Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) class, growing at different speeds in the left half and the right half of space. Carrying out simulations of the discrete polynuclear growth…
A novel discrete growth model in 2+1 dimensions is presented in three equivalent formulations: i) directed motion of zigzags on a cylinder, ii) interacting interlaced TASEP layers, and iii) growing heap over 2D substrate with a restricted…
We study discrete KPZ growth models deposited on square lattice substrates, whose (average) lateral size enlarges as $L= L_0 + \omega t^{\gamma}$. Our numerical simulations reveal that the competition between the substrate expansion and the…
In discrete models describing growing rough interfaces of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class, we examine height fluctuations at a fixed site as a function of time in the monolayer unit. For small systems, we show that it is possible…
A novel algorithm is envisaged to extract the coupling parameters of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation from experimental data. The method hinges on the Fokker-Planck equation combined with a classical least-square error procedure. It…
Over the past years our understanding of the scaling properties of the solutions to the one-dimensional KPZ equation has advanced considerably, both theoretically and experimentally. In our contribution we export these insights to the case…
We integrate numerically the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation in 1+1 and 2+1 dimensions using an Euler discretization scheme and the replacement of ${(\nabla h)}^2$ by exponentially decreasing functions of that quantity to suppress…
When a nonequilibrium growing interface in the presence of a wall is considered a nonequilibrium wetting transition may take place. This transition can be studied trough Langevin equations or discrete growth models. In the first case, the…
Until very recently, the asymptotic occurrence of intrinsic anomalous scaling has been expected to require concomitant effects for kinetically rough interfaces, like quenched disorder or morphological instabilities. However, counterexamples…
Clusters formed by fluctuations of two-dimensional (2D) directed interfaces around a threshold level have been extensively studied at equilibrium and in nonequilibrium steady states, but their coarsening dynamics remain poorly understood.…
We study the mode-coupling approximation for the KPZ equation in the strong coupling regime. By constructing an ansatz consistent with the asymptotic forms of the correlation and response functions we determine the upper critical dimension…
We study an anisotropic variant of the two-dimensional Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation, that is relevant to describe growth of vicinal surfaces and has Gaussian, logarithmically rough, stationary states. While the folklore belief (based on…
We consider a system of infinitely many interacting Brownian motions that models the height of a one-dimensional interface between two bulk phases. We prove that the large scale fluctuations of the system are well approximated by the…
The Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class of stochastic surface growth is studied by exact field-theoretic methods. From previous numerical results, a few qualitative assumptions are inferred. In particular, height correlations should…
