22. The coefficient c=3/2 was inadvertently introduced through our discretization of the Laplacian. Additional numerical integrations with c = 1, performed after this was discovered, did not show any better agreement with the analytic results, nor did they result in a significantly earlier crossover to the late-time scaling regime. The effect of a value of c different from unity is the rescaling of lengths by a factor √c [19,20]. This is here taken into account by the inclusion of c in Eq. (11).
