Phase diagram of generalized totally asymmetric simple exclusion process on an open chain: Liggett-like boundary conditions.

The totally asymmetric simple exclusion process with generalized update is a version of the discrete time totally asymmetric exclusion process with an additional interparticle interaction that controls the degree of particle clustering. Though the model was shown to be integrable on the ring and on the infinite lattice, on the open chain it was studied mainly numerically, while no analytic results existed even for its phase diagram. In this paper, we introduce boundary conditions associated with the infinite translation invariant stationary states of the model, which allow us to obtain the exact phase diagram analytically. We discuss the phase diagram in detail and confirm the analytic predictions by extensive numerical simulations.
