Abstract
The linear Langevin equation proposed by Edwards and Wilkinson [Proc. R. Soc. London A 381, 17 (1982)] is solved in closed form for noise of arbitrary space and time correlation. Furthermore, the temporal development of the full probability functional describing the height fluctuations is derived exactly, exhibiting an interesting evolution between two distinct Gaussian forms. We determine explicitly the dynamic scaling function for the interfacial width for any given initial condition, isolate the early-time behavior, and discover an invariance that was unsuspected in this problem of arbitrary spatiotemporal noise.
