Abstract

We introduce the generalized spatial discretization of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation in 1+1 dimensions. We solve exactly the steady state probability density function for the discrete heights of the interface, for any discretization scheme. We show that the discretization prescription is a consequence of each particular model. From the ballistic deposition model we derive the discretization prescription of the corresponding KPZ equation.
