We study the one-dimensional asymmetric simple exclusion process on the lattice $\{1, \dots,N\}$ with creation/annihilation at the boundaries. The boundary rates are time dependent and change on a slow time scale $N^{-a}$ with $a>0$. We…
We obtain the exact large deviation functions of the density profile and of the current, in the non-equilibrium steady state of a one dimensional symmetric simple exclusion process coupled to boundary reservoirs with slow rates. Compared to…
We numerically demonstrate bidirectional sorting of flocking particles interacting with an array of asymmetric barriers. Each particle aligns with the average swimming direction of its neighbors according to the Vicsek model and experiences…
In the boundary driven symmetric simple exclusion process consider an open set $\ms O$ of density profiles which does not contain the stationary density profile. We prove that the first time the empirical measure visits the set $\ms O$…
The misanthrope process is a class of stochastic interacting particle systems, generalizing the simple exclusion process. It allows each site of the lattice to accommodate more than one particle. We consider a special case of the one…
Exclusive diffusion on a one-dimensional lattice is studied. In the model particles hop stochastically into both directions with different rates. At the ends of the lattice particles are injected and removed. The exact stationary…
We consider Activated Random Walks on arbitrary finite networks, with particles being inserted at random and absorbed at the boundary. Despite the non-reversibility of the dynamics and the lack of knowledge on the stationary distribution,…
We consider single-file diffusion in an open system with two species $A,B$ of particles. At the boundaries we assume different reservoir densities which drive the system into a non-equilibrium steady state. As a model we use an…
The time needed for a particle to exit a confining domain through a small window, called the narrow escape time (NET), is a limiting factor of various processes, such as some biochemical reactions in cells. Obtaining an estimate of the mean…
The TASEP (totally asymmetric simple exclusion process) is a basic model for an one-dimensional interacting particle system with non-reversible dynamics. Despite the simplicity of the model it shows a very rich and interesting behaviour. In…
We consider the asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) on $\mathbb{Z}$ with an initial data such that in the large time particle density $\rho(\cdot)$ a discontinuity at the origin is created, where the value of $\rho$ jumps from zero…
A multi-species generalization of the Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Process (ASEP) has been considered in the presence of a single impurity on a ring. The model describes particles hopping in one direction with stochastic dynamics and hard…
We study the mixing time of the averaging process on a large random $d$-regular graph, $d\ge 3$, and prove an $L^2$-cutoff with an explicit cutoff time. Somewhat surprisingly, we uncover a phase transition at the finite, fixed degree…
Low-dimensional dynamical systems are fruitful models for mixing in fluid and granular flows. We study a one-dimensional discontinuous dynamical system (termed "cutting and shuffling" of a line segment), and we present a comprehensive…
We study an open system composed of two parallel totally asymmetric simple exclusion processes with particle attachment and detachment in the bulk. The particles are allowed to change their lane from lane-A to lane-B, but not conversely. We…
The escape of particles through a narrow absorbing gate in confined domains is a abundant phenomenon in various systems in physics, chemistry and molecular biophysics. We consider the narrow escape problem in a cellular flow when the two…
In earlier work (arXiv:1707.04927) the authors obtained formulas for the probability in the asymmetric simple exclusion process that at time $t$ a particle is at site $x$ and is the beginning of a block of $L$ consecutive particles. Here we…
Introduced in the late 1960's, the asymmetric exclusion process (ASEP) is an important model from statistical mechanics which describes a system of interacting particles hopping left and right on a one-dimensional lattice of n sites with…
Let $G$ be a finite group. The commuting chain on $G$ moves from an element $x$ to $y$ by selecting $y$ uniformly amongst those which commute with $x$. The $t$ step transition probabilities of this chain converge to a distribution uniform…
We study the asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) on a segment $\{1,\ldots,b_N\}$ and are interested in its total variation distance to equilibrium when started from an initial configuration $\xi^{N}$. We provide a general result…
