Abstract: We perform a high-precision calculation of the critical exponents for the long-range elastic string driven through quenched disorder at the depinning transition, at zero temperature. Large-scale simulations avoid finite-size effects and improve accuracy. We explicitly demonstrate the equivalence of fixed-velocity and fixed-driving-force simulations. The roughness, growth, and velocity exponents are calculated independently, and the dynamic and correlation length exponents are derived. The critical exponents satisfy known scaling relations and agree well with analytical predictions.
