An efficient transfer matrix technique is introduced to study directed optimal paths in two and three dimensions. The roughness exponent zeta is 0.6325 +/- 0.0007 for the two-dimensional case and zeta = 0.555 +/- 0.008 for the three-dimensional one, in agreement with the recent conjecture zeta = v(perpendicular to)/v(parallel to), where v(perpendicular to) and v(parallel to) are the correlation length exponents of directed percolation.

Abstract
An efficient transfer matrix technique is introduced to study directed optimal paths in two and three dimensions. The roughness exponent zeta is 0.6325 +/- 0.0007 for the two-dimensional case and zeta = 0.555 +/- 0.008 for the three-dimensional one, in agreement with the recent conjecture zeta = v(perpendicular to)/v(parallel to), where v(perpendicular to) and v(parallel to) are the correlation length exponents of directed percolation. Exactly solvable examples are also analyzed.File in questo prodotto:
