Open boundary conditions in stochastic transport processes with pair-factorized steady states (1506.01636v1)
Published 4 Jun 2015 in cond-mat.stat-mech
Abstract: Using numerical methods we discuss the effects of open boundary conditions on condensation phenomena in the zero-range process (ZRP) and transport processes with pair-factorized steady states (PFSS), an extended model of the ZRP with nearest-neighbor interaction. For the zero-range process we compare to analytical results in the literature with respect to criticality and condensation. For the extended model we find a similar phase structure, but observe supercritical phases with droplet formation for strong boundary drives.
