摘要: We study the effect of noise due to microscopic fluctuations on position a one dimensional front propagating from stable an unstable region in “linearly marginal stability case.” By simulating very simple system for which effective number N particles can be as large N=10150, we measure dependence diffusion constant DN and shift its velocity vN. Our results indicate that DN∼(log N)−3. They also confirm our recent claim scales like vmin−vN≃K(log N)−2 numerical value K is close analytical expression Kapprox obtained previous work using cut-off approximation.
