We consider different regimes depending on the entering and exiting rates as well as on the rates in the bulk, and show that the process exhibits pre-cutoff and in some special cases even cutoff.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-03-08T13:36:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60K35", "60J27", "82C22" ], "keywords": [ "open boundaries", "asymmetric simple exclusion process", "special cases", "study mixing times" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 40, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
