Hydrodynamics for the ABC model with slow/fast boundary

Abstract

In this article, we consider the ABC model in contact with slow/fast reservoirs. In this model, there is at most one particle per site, which can be of type $\alpha \in \{A,B,C\}$ and particles exchange positions in the discrete set of points $\{1,\cdots ,N-1\}$ with a weakly asymmetric rate that depends on the type of particles involved in the exchange mechanism. At the boundary points $x=1,N-1$ particles can be injected or removed with a rate that depends on the type of particles involved. We prove that the hydrodynamic limit, in the diffusive time scale, is given by a system of non-linear coupled equation with several boundary conditions, that depend on the strength of the reservoir's action.
