Diameters of Symmetric and Lifted Simple Exclusion Models
摘要
We determine diameters of Markov chains describing one-dimensional N-particle models with an exclusion interaction, namely the symmetric simple exclusion process (Ssep) and one of its non-reversible liftings, the lifted totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (Tasep). The diameters provide lower bounds for the mixing times, and we discuss the implications of our findings for the analysis of these models.
