@article{ISI:000221813100029, abstract = {We report the results of numerical investigations of the steady-state (SS) and finite-initial-conditions (FIC) spatial persistence and survival probabilities for (1+1)-dimensional interfaces with dynamics governed by the nonlinear Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation and the linear Edwards-Wilkinson (EW) equation with both white (uncorrelated) and colored (spatially correlated) noise. We study the effects of a finite sampling distance on the measured spatial persistence probability and show that both SS and FIC persistence probabilities exhibit simple scaling behavior as a function of the system size and the sampling distance. Analytical expressions for the exponents associated with the power-law decay of SS and FIC spatial persistence probabilities of the EW equation with power-law correlated noise are established and numerically verified.}, article-number = {051603}, author = {Constantin, M and Das Sarma, S and Dasgupta, C}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevE.69.051603}, eissn = {1550-2376}, issn = {1539-3755}, journal = {PHYSICAL REVIEW E}, month = {MAY}, number = {5, 1}, orcid-numbers = {Sarma, Sankar Das/0000-0002-0439-986X Dasgupta, Chandan/0000-0002-0302-1881}, researcherid-numbers = {Sarma, Sankar Das/B-2400-2009 }, times-cited = {14}, title = {Spatial persistence and survival probabilities for fluctuating interfaces}, unique-id = {ISI:000221813100029}, volume = {69}, year = {2004} }
