Limiting speed of a second class particle in ASEP
Abstract
We study the asymptotic speed of a second class particle in the two-species asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) on with each particle belonging either to the first class or the second class. For any fixed non-negative integer , we consider the two-species ASEP started from the initial data with all the sites of occupied by first class particles, all the sites of occupied by second class particles, and the rest of the sites of unoccupied. With these initial conditions, we show that the speed of the leftmost second class particle converges weakly to a distribution supported on a symmetric compact interval . Furthermore, the limiting distribution is shown to have the same law as the minimum of independent random samples drawn uniformly from the interval .
