Abstract

The Kardar–Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation is examined using the recently published leapfrog–hopscotch (LH) method as well as the most standard forward time centered space (FTCS) scheme and the Heun method. The methods are verified by reproducing an analytical solution. The performance of each method is then compared by calculating the average and the maximum differences among the results and displaying the runtimes. Numerical tests show that due to the special symmetry in the time–space discretisation, the new LH method clearly outperforms the other two methods. In addition, we discuss the effect of different parameters on the solutions.
