46. The nabla2(nabla h)2 nonlinearity of Eqs. ( refgeneral) and ( refldseq) was first introduced into growth equations by T. Sun, H. Guo, and M. Grant [Phys. Rev. A 40, 6763 (1989)] as a conserved KPZ nonlinearity with the noise η considered a completely conserved noise η equiv ηD. In contrast, the deposition noise is unconserved in the MBE growth situation as emphasized in Refs. citelds,vill.

58. The same is true for all the higher order linear models of the nabla2n type with n ge2, all of which have α'=1 and α = (n - 1/2), making kappa = (2n -d -1) for n ge 2 and d = 1+1 or 2+1. Note that in d=2+1 the nabla4 linear model has a logarithmic anomalous scaling exponent with kappa = 0+.

60. While the scaling collapse of Fig. 6 for the BD model does not have the high quality of the corresponding SOS scaling collapses in Figs. 3 and 4, saturation of the scaling function is clear in Fig. 6 and the deviations for y= 0.1 to 1.0 are attributed to the intrinsic width and defect formation effects, well known to be important for non conservative growth, and demonstrate a problem of using a single valued height function to describe BD growth. See Refs. citedlgk,cjl_lag,krugspohn, for example. par
61. We note that the correlation lengths in the simulations yielding α' and z' are small [ξ(tmax) sim 30 60 for the data of Fig. 5(a)] compared to the largest system size (L=200) used to extract an L independent value for γ in Fig. 7(a), so the comparison between γ and z' may not be completely justified due to finite size effects. In particular, we note that for L=50 in the d=1+1 results for S(k) [so that L approx ξ(tmax)], γ approx 2.3, the finite size effect making γ more consistent with z'. Because growth in 2+1 dimensions is not as constrained as it is for d=1+1 (there are more diffusional opportunities for an atom in higher dimensions), it seems reasonable that such effects are reduced.

64. We attempted to fit the P(s) distribution to the stretched exponential form, but very few step height values occur even for very long simulations both in the D=10,20 DT model and the Family model, and such an exercise is not statistically meaningful.
