Abstract.
In a roughening process, the growth exponent ß describes how the roughness w grows with the time t: w ~ tß. We determine the exponent ß of a growth process generated by the spatiotemporal patterns of the one-dimensional Domany-Kinzel cellular automaton. The values obtained for ß show a cusp at the frozen/active transition which permits determination of the transition line. The ß value at the transition depends on the scheme used: symmetric \((\beta \simeq 0.83)\) or non-symmetric \((\beta \simeq 0.61)\). Using damage spreading ideas, we also determine the active/chaotic transition line; this line depends on how the replicas are updated.
