A hyperbolic conservation law and particle systems

In these notes we consider two particle systems: the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process and the totally asymmetric zero-range process. We introduce the notion of hydrodynamic limit and describe the partial differential equation that governs the evolution of the conserved quantity – the dens...
