Let \(\Gamma_ N=\{1,2,...,N\}\) denote the group \({\mathbb{Z}}/N{\mathbb{Z}}\) and let \[ L_ Nf(\eta)=\sum^{N}_{x=1}c_{x,x+1}(\eta)(f(\eta^{x,x+1})-f(\eta)) \] be the generator of the usual exclusion process with state space \(\{0,1\}^{\Gamma_ N}\). Next, let \(\eta^ N(t)=\{\eta^ N_ x(t):\) \(x\in \Gamma_ N\}\) be the Markov chain with generator \(N^ 2L_ N\). Consider the measure-valued process: \[ \xi^ N(t,d\theta)=(1/N)\sum^{N}_{x=1}\eta^ N_ x(t)\delta_{x/N}(d\theta),\quad \theta \in {\mathbb{T}}, \] where \({\mathbb{T}}\) is the one-dimensional torus identified with [0,1). Under some rather restrictive conditions on the rate function \(c_{x,x+1}\), the authors prove that \(\xi^ N(t)\) converges in probability to \(\rho\) (t,\(\theta\))d\(\theta\), where \(\rho\) (t,\(\theta\)) satisfies the nonlinear diffusion equation \[ \partial \rho (t,\theta)/\partial t=\partial^ 2P(\rho (t,\theta))/\partial \theta^ 2,\quad \theta \in {\mathbb{T}}, \] and P(\(\rho\)) is the mean of some function related to \(c_{x,x+1}\) with respect to the grand canonical Gibbs measure with density \(\rho\).
