Abstract
The misanthrope process is a class of stochastic interacting particle systems, generalizing the simple exclusion process. It allows each site of the lattice to accommodate more than one particle. We consider a special case of the one-dimensional misanthrope process whose probability distribution is completely equivalent to the ordinary simple exclusion process under the periodic boundary condition. By imposing open boundaries, high- and low-density domains can coexist in the system, which we investigate by Monte Carlo simulations. We examine finite-size corrections of density profiles and correlation functions, when the jump rule for particles is symmetric. Moreover, we study properties of delocalized and localized shocks in the case of the totally asymmetric jump rule. The localized shock slowly moves to its stable position in the bulk.
