A mixture of the exclusion process and the voter model (Q5933654)

A mixture of the simple exclusion process and the voter model of one-dimensional nearest-neighbour interacting particle systems is studied. The new model is described by two parameters, a transition rate in the exclusion part and a mixture parameter of the exclusion and voter parts. The main result, which is quite complete, describes the ergodic and transient regions of the parameters for the process. The main tool is the recent result on the ergodicity, recurrence and transience of Markov chains developed by V. A. Malyshev et al.
