Abstract

Fix a smooth function Φ:[l,r]\bbR\Phi : [l,r] \to \bb R, defined on some interval [l,r][l,r] of \bbR\bb R, such that 0<bΦb10<b \le \Phi'\le b^{-1}. We prove that the evolution, on the diffusive scale, of the empirical density of exclusion processes in \bbZd\bb Z^d, with conductances given by special class of functions WW, is described by the weak solutions of the non-linear parabolic partial differential equation tρ=k=1d(d/dxk)(d/dWk)Φ(ρ)\partial_t \rho = \sum_{k=1}^d (d/dx_k)(d/dW_k)\Phi(\rho). We also derive some properties of the operator k=1d(d/dxk)(d/dWk)\sum^d_{k=1}(d/dx_k)(d/dW_k).
