From numerical calculations we find that the persistence properties of the system show sharp transitions at critical dimensions d1 ~ 26 and d2 ~ 46. We also give refined measurements of the persistence exponents for low dimensions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2000-09-22T22:31:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "diffusion equation", "random initial field", "critical dimensions d1", "low dimensions", "sharp transitions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
