Facilitated Asymmetric Exclusion

Abstract: We introduce a class of facilitated asymmetric exclusion processes in which particles are pushed by neighbors from behind. For the simplest version in which a particle can hop to its vacant right neighbor only if its left neighbor is occupied, we determine the steady-state current and the distribution of cluster sizes on a ring. We show that an initial density downstep develops into a rarefaction wave that can have a jump discontinuity at the leading edge, while an upstep results in a shock wave. This unexpect… Show more

“…Thus, it is negative at high densities, corresponding to holes moving "backwards" (the simplest case being the single-hole system). An unusual and notable feature of AEP is "cooperative motion" [19][20][21]. In an ordinary TASEP, adding a particle to the system always reduces both v and ∂ ρ J.…”

“…It is intriguing that, at high densities (ρ > 1/2), J AC can exceed 2 × J TASEP . Meanwhile, for low densities, the kicking action results in "facilitated" or "cooperative motion" [19][20][21], where the average velocity of the particles, v, can be increased by adding particles to the system. Clearly absent in the ordinary TASEP, this phenomenon can be characterized by ∂ ρ v > 0 or a positive curvature in J: ∂ 2 ρ J > 0 [19][20][21].…”

“…Macroscopic quantities of interest, in particular the particle density and current and their fluctuations as well as configurational properties, such as the dynamics of the largest cluster and the condensation transition, have been of renewed interest for various generalizations [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] of the basic TASEP model, many of them interesting, e.g., from the point of view of RNA transcription, jamming of traffic flow, phase separation, and growth phenomena.…”
