Abstract:
The effect of jumping rate probability on the phase diagram of an asymmetric exclusion model is studied by numerical simulations. Density, current and velocity of particles are calculated for parallel dynamics. In the open boundaries case for one species of particles (particles 1), a passage from first to second order transition occurs by decreasing the jumping rate. In the periodic boundaries case, by introducing another species of particle (particle 2) which plays the role of obstacle for particles 1, the average velocity of particles 1 increases with increasing the jumping rate for small density. While the average velocity of particle 2 decreases for small and intermediate densities.
