Comment on ``Dynamic Scaling in the Spatial Distribution of Persistent Sites''

In a recent paper (cond-mat/9901130), the spatial distribution of unvisited sites in the one-dimensional single-species annihilation process was investigated. It was claimed that this distribution is characterized by a new length scale, and that the corresponding dynamical exponent depends upon the initial concentration. We show numerically that this assertion is erroneous. Regardless of the initial concentration, this spatial distribution is characterized by the diffusive length scale.
