Phase transitions in driven systems: the TASEP model (Totally ASymmetric Exclusion Process): periodic boundary counditions: properties of the stationary state; the mean field solution is exact (section 4.4);

TASEP model: open boundary conditions with injection and removal of particles; phase diagram: characterization of High Density (HD), Low Density (HD) and Maximal Current phases; discontinuous transition between HD and LD (section 4.4)
