Abstract

We investigate the macroscopic behavior of asymmetric attractive zero-range processes on Z\mathbb{Z} where particles are destroyed at the origin at a rate of order NβN^\beta, where βR\beta \in \mathbb{R} and NNN\in\mathbb{N} is the scaling parameter. We prove that the hydrodynamic limit of this particle system is described by the unique entropy solution of a hyperbolic conservation law, supplemented by a boundary condition depending on the range of β\beta. Namely, if β0\beta \geqslant 0, then the boundary condition prescribes the particle current through the origin, whereas if β<0\beta<0, the destruction of particles at the origin has no macroscopic effect on the system and no boundary condition is imposed at the hydrodynamic limit.
