Stationary uphill currents in locally perturbed zero-range processes

Abstract: Uphill currents are observed when mass diffuses in the direction of the density gradient. We study this phenomenon in stationary conditions in the framework of locally perturbed one-dimensional zero range processes (ZRPs). We show that the onset of currents flowing from the reservoir with smaller density to the one with larger density can be caused by a local asymmetry in the hopping rates on a single site at the center of the lattice. For fixed injection rates at the boundaries, we prove that a suitable tunin… Show more

“…The steady state is unique and does not depend on the initial conditions ( ( )) ] ] Î n 0 l l 0,1 . In the rest of the paper we will assume that the rates δ and β satisfy the conditions of equation (16) leading to a steady state. We are going to study the master equation at finite time in order to work out how fast each fitness level forgets initial conditions, in the absence of resetting events.…”

“…with ζ>0 (this assumption, equation (16) ensures that the sum of the vanishing and hopping rates is high enough to prevent an exponential divergence of the occupation number at maximum fitness). The non-linearity can be addressed using the functional method (see [40] for an application of this method to the backgammon model).…”

“…In this paper we focus on the behavior of the profiles ρ i and the mass displacement χ as a function of the model parameters. For given parameters, we obtain the exact value by first solving equations (8) to compute the π i 's, and then equation (9) and (10). In the simulations, the total number of particles is N = 200 and L = 50.…”

“…We show that the wave function time independent profile of the Kronig-Penney model can be associated with the stationary particle profile of independent random walkers with suitable hopping rates. For convenience, we deal with this model, using the language of the Zero Range Process (ZRP) [4][5][6]15,19,20]. The regular quantum system considered here is the same as the one studied in Ref.…”
