Abstract

We consider weakly asymmetric exclusion processes whose initial density profile is a small perturbation of a constant. We show that in the diffusive time-scale, in all dimensions, the density defect evolves as the solution of a viscous Burgers equation.

Nous examinons le processus d’exclusion simple faiblement asymétrique partant d’une perturbation d’un profil de densité constant. Nous montrons qu’à l’échelle diffusive, en toute dimension, la perturbation évolue selon la solution d’une équation de Burgers visqueuse.
