| dc.description | We study the evolution of an elastic string into the pinned state at driving forces slightly below the depinning threshold force $F_c$. We quantify the temporal evolution of the string by an {\it activity function} $A(t)$ representing the fraction of active nodes at time $t$ and find three distinct dynamic regimes. There is an initial stage of fast decay of the activity; in the second, intermediate, regime, an exponential decay of activity is observed; and, eventually, the fast collapse of the string towards its final pinned state results in an decay in the activity with $\Am \sim (t_p-t)^ψ$, where $t_p$ is the pinning time in the finite system involved. | |
