SMALL-SCALE PROPERTIES OF THE STOCHASTIC STABILIZED KURAMOTO-SIVASHINSKY EQUATION

We present analytical and numerical results about the scaling properti es at short times and small length scales of the stochastic version of the stabilized Kuramoto-Sivashinky equation (SSKS) in 1 + 1 dimension s. recently considered to model the slow compact growth in electrodepo sition. By using the linearized fluctuation theory we obtain several r elevant quantities related to the scaling properties. We compare these results with numerical simulations and find that the SSKS equation ha s an anomalous scaling behaviour. Copyright (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
