Feb 5, 2011 at 19:55 comment added picakhu @David: I do not think this falls under ASEP, but then again, I have not studied them. But you are correct in that the idea of looking for different rates in distinct regions stems from ASEP.
Feb 4, 2011 at 14:49 comment added David E Speyer This is the sort of thing which is studied under the term "assymetric exclusion process". I don't know much about it, but that might help get your search started.
Feb 4, 2011 at 13:17 comment added picakhu @JDH, a deterministic model is not stochastic in my opinion, so the counter example is not really a counter example I think. The counter examples are deterministic, and its really difficult to talk about what happens if you move from those cases. As for whether it is synchronized, yes, they all move at once. (coins are tossed prior for all people who can move, and if they are granted permission, all advance at the same time.)
Feb 4, 2011 at 11:19 comment added Joel David Hamkins Also, could you clarify whether all the movement is synchronized on the same time steps?
Feb 4, 2011 at 11:14 comment added Willie Wong +1 JDH. @picakhu: what exactly is the point of asking for my opinion on MSE when you just forge ahead anyway? Your current phrasing of the question does not rule out the various edge cases that JDH and I raised.

Feb 4, 2011 at 6:24 comment added picakhu NOTE: I have been very vague about the definition of "section", I am open to suggestions about that.
Feb 4, 2011 at 6:14 comment added picakhu Erm, think about it as a finite loop that has spots added to it. We are in the limiting case when there are infinitely many spots.
Feb 4, 2011 at 6:08 comment added Gerry Myerson Not sure it makes any difference, but I'll ask anyway: is this line infinite in both directions, or only in the forward direction?
