The class of systems considered incorporates zero range, $K$-exclusion, mysanthropic, `bricklayers' models, and much more. We do not assume attractivity of the interactions. We apply Yau's relative entropy method rather than coupling arguments. The result is \\emph{partial extension} of T. Sepp\\\"al\\\"ainen's recent paper. For $0<\\beta<1/5$ fixed, we prove that, rescaling microscopic space and time by $N$, respectively $N^{1+\\beta}$, the macroscopic evolution of perturbations of microscopic order $N^{-\\beta}$ of the equilibrium states is governed by Burgers' equation. The same statement should hold for $0<\\beta<1/2$ as in Sepp\\\"al\\\"ainen's cited paper, but our method does not seem to work for $\\beta\\ge1/5$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2002-01-07T15:36:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "deposition models", "equilibrium fluctuations", "perturbation", "eulerian scaling", "equilibrium states" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 30, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2002math......1016T" } } }
