Analytical and simulation studies of driven diffusive system with asymmetric heterogeneous interactions

Totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (namely, TASEP) is one of the most vital driven diffusive systems, which depicts stochastic dynamics of self-driven particles unidirectional updating along one-dimensional discrete lattices controlled by hard-core exclusions. Different with pre-existing results, driven diffusive system composed by multiple TASEPs with asymmetric heterogeneous interactions under two-dimensional periodic boundaries is investigated. By using detailed balance principle, particle configurations are extensively studied to obtain universal laws of characteristic order parameters of such stochastic dynamic system. By performing analytical analyses and Monte-Carlo simulations, local densities are found to be monotone increase with global density and spatially homogeneous to site locations. Oppositely, local currents are found to be non-monotonically increasing against global density and proportional to forward rate. Additionally, by calculating different cases of topologies, changing transition rates are found to have greater effects on particle configurations in adjacent subsystems. By intuitively comparing with pre-existing results, the improvement of our work also shows that introducing and considering totally heterogeneous interactions can improve the total current in such multiple TASEPs and optimize the overall transport of such driven-diffusive system. Our research will be helpful to understand microscopic dynamics and non-equilibrium dynamical behaviors of interacting particle systems.
