Abstract

Recently there has been considerable interest in the study of rough surfaces and stochastically growing interfaces in the context of a variety of models of surface growth (for recent reviews see Refs. 1 and 2). The dynamics of the interface in these models3–9 is also believed, through their connection with the stochastic form of Burger’s equation,10 to be intimately related to a variety of other problems, including directed polymers in random media,11,12 the long-time behavior of randomly stirred fluids,13 and the evolution of Sivashinski flame fronts.
