Abstract:
Recent reports [N. Jia and S. Ma, Phys. Rev. E 79, 031115 (2009); T. Neumann and P. Wagner, Phys. Rev. E 80, 013101 (2009)] have different opinions on the exact analytical solution of the inflow in the Nagel-Schreckenberg model with expanded left boundary condition. In the current study, the different implementations of the "expanded left boundary" are proven to cause the confliction. Detailed analyses show that both reports are reasonable, depending on whether the rule "clear the minisystem first" is applied.

Current Source in One Mesh: The analysis process is straightforward when a current source is found in only one mesh within the circuit. Mesh currents are assigned as usual, with the mesh containing the current source excluded from the analysis. Kirchhoff's voltage law (KVL)...
