Dynamical transition in the TASEP with Langmuir kinetics: mean-field theory
Dynamical transition in the TASEP with Langmuir kinetics: mean-field theory
We develop a mean-field theory for the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) with open boundaries, in order to investigate the so-called dynamical transition. The latter phenomenon appears as a singularity in the relaxation rate of the system toward its non-equilibrium steady state. In the high-density (low-density) phase, the relaxation …
