Abstract
Tracy-Widom and Baik-Rains distributions appear as universal limit distributions for height fluctuations in the one-dimensional Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) stochastic partial differential equation (PDE). We obtain the same universal distributions in the spatiotemporally chaotic, nonequilibrium, but statistically steady state of the one-dimensional Kuramoto-Sivashinsky (KS) deterministic PDE, by carrying out extensive pseudospectral direct numerical simulations to obtain the spatiotemporal evolution of the KS height profile h(x,t) for different initial conditions. We establish, therefore, that the statistical properties of the one-dimensional (1D) KS PDE in this state are in the 1D KPZ universality class.
