From scaling arguments and numerical simulations, we investigate the properties of the generalized elastic model (GEM) that is used to describe various physical systems such as polymers, membranes, single-file systems, or rough interfaces. We compare analytical and numerical results for the subdiffusion exponent β characterizing the growth of the mean squared displacement ⟨(δh)2⟩ of the field h described by the GEM dynamic equation. We study the scaling properties of the qth order moments ⟨|δh|q⟩ with time, finding that the interface fluctuations show no intermittent behavior. We also investigate the ergodic properties of the process h in terms of the ergodicity breaking parameter and the distribution of the time averaged mean squared displacement. Finally, we study numerically the driven GEM with a constant, localized perturbation and extract the characteristics of the average drift for a tagged probe.

The relevance for taking α = d in case of local interactions and/or uncorrelated noise becomes clear when solving the starting equation (2) in Fourier space: one can get a solution for systems with local interaction by setting α = d in the corresponding long-ranged hydrodynamic expressions. This formal substitution, which is not intended as a limit, allows one to easily shift from non-local to local cases throughout the analysis. This issue is explained in Ref. 17 in more detail.

The choice a = 1 is usual for such simulations studies if only the time step δt is sufficiently small, compare, for instance, Ref. 53. Our simulations results show no dependence on the lattice constant.
