We consider a system of two coupled particles evolving in a periodic and spatially symmetric potential under the influence of external driving and damping. The particles are driven individually in such a way that in the uncoupled regime,…

We investigate the dynamics of a one-dimensional asymmetric exclusion process with Langmuir kinetics and a fluctuating wall. At the left boundary, particles are injected onto the lattice; from there, the particles hop to the right. Along…

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…
