Abstract

Abstract: To mimic the complex transport-like collective phenomena in a man-made or natural system, we study an open network junction model of totally asymmetric simple exclusion process with bulk particle attachment and detachment. The stationary system properties such as particle density, phase transitions, and phase diagrams are derived theoretically utilising the mean field approach. The steady-state phases have been categorized into various sub-classes based upon the phase transitions occurring across the junction. It is found that the number of steady-state phases depends on the number of incoming and outgoing segments at the junction. Further, an increase in the particle non-conserving rates significantly affects the topology of the phase diagram, and the number of stationary phases changes in a non-monotonic way. For both the case of equal and unequal incoming and outgoing segments, the critical values of non-conserving rates at which the topology of the phase diagram changes are identified. The theoretical results are validated using extensive Monte Carlo simulations.
