摘要
The totally asymmetric simple exclusion process ( TASEP) is a well studied example of far-from-equilibrium dynamics. Here, we consider a TASEP with open boundaries but impose a global constraint on the total number of particles. In other words, the boundary reservoirs and the system must share a finite supply of particles. Using simulations and analytic arguments, we obtain the average particle density and current of the system, as a function of the boundary rates and the total number of particles. Our findings are relevant to biological transport problems if the availability of molecular motors becomes a rate-limiting factor.
