The methods are verified by reproducing an analytical solution. The performance of each method is then compared by calculating the average and the maximum differences among the results and displaying the runtimes. Numerical tests show that due to the special symmetry in the time\u2013space discretisation, the new LH method clearly outperforms the other two methods. In addition, we discuss the effect of different parameters on the solutions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym14040699","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,29]],"date-time":"2022-03-29T21:45:51Z","timestamp":1648590351000},"page":"699","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Solution of the 1D KPZ Equation by Explicit Methods"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0184-0699","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Okhunjon","family":"Sayfidinov","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Machine and Product Design, University of Miskolc, 3515 Miskolc, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4070-1376","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gabriella","family":"Bogn\u00e1r","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Machine and Product Design, University of Miskolc, 3515 Miskolc, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0439-3070","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Endre","family":"Kov\u00e1cs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Physics and Electrical Engineering, University of Miskolc, 3515 Miskolc, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"889","DOI":"10.1103\/PhysRevLett.56.889","article-title":"Dynamic scaling of growing interfaces","volume":"59","author":"Kardar","year":"1986","journal-title":"Phys.
