Asymmetric simple exclusion process in one-dimensional chains with long-range links

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study the boundary-driven asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) in a one-dimensional chain with long-range links. Shortcuts are added to a chain by connecting pL different pairs of sites selected randomly where L and p denote the chain length and the shortcut density, respectively. Particles flow into a chain at one boundary at rate alpha and out of a chain at the other boundary at rate , while they hop inside a chain via nearest-neighbor bonds and long-range shortcuts. Without shortcuts, the model reduces to the boundary-driven ASEP in a one-dimensional chain which displays the low density, high density, and maximal current phases. Shortcuts lead to a drastic change. Numerical simulation studies suggest that there emerge three phases; an empty phase with ho=0, a jammed phase with ho=1, and a shock phase with 0<ho<1 where ho is the mean particle density. The shock phase is characterized with a phase separation between an empty region and a jammed region with a localized shock between them. The mechanism for the shock formation and the non-equilibrium phase transition is explained by an analytic theory based on a mean-field approximation and an annealed approximation.
