 abstract = {The effects of the initial height on the temporal persistence
probability of steady-state height fluctuations in up-down symmetric
linear models of surface growth are investigated. We study the (1 +
1)-dimensional Family model and the (1 + 1)-and (2 + 1)-dimensional
larger curvature (LC) model. Both the Family and LC models have up-down
symmetry, so the positive and negative persistence probabilities in the
steady state, averaged over all values of the initial height h(0), are
equal to each other. However, these two probabilities are not equal if
one considers a fixed nonzero value of h(0). Plots of the positive
persistence probability for negative initial height versus time exhibit
power-law behavior if the magnitude of the initial height is larger than
the interface width at saturation. By symmetry, the negative persistence
probability for positive initial height also exhibits the same behavior.
The persistence exponent that describes this power-law decay decreases
as the magnitude of the initial height is increased. The dependence of
the persistence probability on the initial height, the system size, and
the discrete sampling time is found to exhibit scaling behavior.},
