We study fluctuations of interfaces in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class with curved initial conditions. By simulations of a cluster growth model and experiments of liquid-crystal turbulence, we determine the universal…
We study the persistence properties in a simple model of two coupled interfaces characterized by heights h_1 and h_2 respectively, each growing over a d-dimensional substrate. The first interface evolves independently of the second and can…
The influence of an external random field on the competition process in a nonlinear open spatially extended system is analyzed numerically. A three-component model is chosen as the competition model in which a "weak" species can move in…
The probabilities $P_\pm(t_0,t)$ that a growing Kardar-Parisi-Zhang interface remains above or below the mean height in the time interval $(t_0, t)$ are shown numerically to decay as $P_\pm \sim (t_0/t)^{\theta_\pm}$ with $\theta_+ = 1.18…
Stochastic motion of a point -- known as Brownian motion -- has many successful applications in science, thanks to its scale invariance and consequent universal features such as Gaussian fluctuations. In contrast, the stochastic motion of a…
Persistence probabilities of the interface height in (1+1)- and (2+1)-dimensional atomistic, solid-on-solid, stochastic models of surface growth are studied using kinetic Monte Carlo simulations, with emphasis on models that belong to the…
Results of experiments on the dynamics and kinetic roughening of one-dimensional slow-combustion fronts in three grades of paper are reported. Extensive averaging of the data allows a detailed analysis of the spatial and temporal…
We revisit the Swift-Hohenberg model for two-dimensional hexagonal patterns in the bistability region where hexagons coexist with the uniform quiescent state. We both analyze the law of motion of planar interfaces (separating hexagons and…
We show that the persistence probability $P(t,L)$, in a coarsening system of linear size $L$ at a time $t$, has the finite size scaling form $P(t,L)\sim L^{-z\theta}f(\frac{t}{L^{z}})$ where $\theta$ is the persistence exponent and $z$ is…
The global effects of sudden changes in the interface growth dynamics are studied using models of the Edwards-Wilkinson (EW) and Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) classes during their growth regimes in dimensions $d=1$ and $d=2$. Scaling arguments…
In this paper we study the scaling behavior of the interface fluctuations (roughness) for a discrete model with conservative noise on complex networks. Conservative noise is a noise which has no external flux of deposition on the surface…
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…
Results of analytic and numerical investigations of first-passage properties of equilibrium fluctuations of monatomic steps on a vicinal surface are reviewed. Both temporal and spatial persistence and survival probabilities, as well as the…
We prove, using probabilistic techniques and analysis on the Wiener space, that the large scale fluctuations of the KPZ equation in $d\geq 3$ with a small coupling constant, driven by a white in time and colored in space noise, are given by…
We have simulated an automaton version of the quenched Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (qKPZ) equation in one and two dimensions in order to study the scaling properties of the interface at the depinning transition. Specifically, the $\alpha$, $\beta$,…
We review recent progress on the study of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation in a periodic setting, which describes the random growth of an interface in a cylindrical geometry. The main results include central limit theorems for the…
Scale-invariant fluctuations of growing interfaces are studied for circular clusters of an off-lattice variant of the Eden model, which belongs to the (1+1)-dimensional Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class. Statistical properties of…
We investigate growing interfaces of topological-defect turbulence in the electroconvection of nematic liquid crystals. The interfaces exhibit self-affine roughening characterized by both spatial and temporal scaling laws of the…
A fluctuating interfacial profile in one dimension is studied via Langevin simulations of the Edwards-Wilkinson equation with non-conserved noise and the Mullins-Herring equation with conserved noise. The profile is subject to either…
Stochastic interface dynamics serve as mathematical models for diverse time-dependent physical phenomena: the evolution of boundaries between thermodynamic phases, crystal growth, random deposition... Interesting limits arise at large…
