In these generalized models the range of the hard-core interactions are changed and the restriction of relative ordering of the particles is partially brocken. The models probing these effects are those of biased diffusion of particles having size S=0,1,2,..., or an effective negative \"size\" S=-1,-2,..., in units of lattice space. Our numerical simulations show that irrespective of the range of the hard-core potential, as long some relative ordering of particles are kept, we find suitable sliding-tag correlation functions whose fluctuations growth with time anomalously slow ($t^{{1/3}}$), when compared with the normal diffusive behavior ($t^{{1/2}}$). These results indicate that the critical behavior of these stochastic models are in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class. Moreover a previous Bethe-ansatz calculation of the dynamical critical exponent $z$, for size $S \\geq 0$ particles is extended to the case $S<0$ and the KPZ result $z=3/2$ is predicted for all values of $S \\in {Z}$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-04-03T11:30:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "asymmetric exclusion model", "anomalous tag diffusion", "arbitrary sizes", "dimensional asymmetric exclusion problem", "suitable sliding-tag correlation functions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
