17. The amplitude A of the initial random displacement (x, y) is an additional parameter. We chose A = 0.02 and found the same qualitative features for A = 0.002-0.2.
18. Other exponents and the order parameter may be defined in similar ways as for percolation, see, e.g., STAUFFER D. and AHARONY A. Introduction to Percolation Theory, 2nd edition, (Taylor and Francis, London) 1992.
