Local roughness distributions (LRDs) are studied in the growth regimes of lattice models in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) class in 1+1 and 2+1 dimensions and in a model of the Villain-Lai-Das Sarma (VLDS) growth class in 2+1 dimensions. The…
The Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation is a stochastic partial differential equation which is ill-posed because the nonlinearity is marginally defined with respect to the roughness of the forcing noise. However, its Cole-Hopf solution,…
