We analyse the mean squared displacement (MSD) of the particles as a function of the particle density and their persistence (the tendency to continue moving in the same direction). For positive persistence the MSD behaves as expected: it increases with the persistence and decreases with the density. However, for strong anti-persistence we find two different regimes, in which the dependence of the MSD on the density is non-monotonic. For very strong anti-persistence there is an optimal density at which the MSD reaches a maximum. In an intermediate regime, the MSD as a function of the density exhibits both a minimum and a maximum, a phenomenon which has not been observed before. We derive a mean-field theory which qualitatively explains this behaviour.}, language = {en} } @article{TeomyMetzler2019, author = {Teomy, Eial and Metzler, Ralf}, title = {Correlations and transport in exclusion processes with general finite memory}, series = {Journal of statistical mechanics: theory and experiment}, volume = {2019}, journal = {Journal of statistical mechanics: theory and experiment}, number = {10}, publisher = {IOP Publ.

We find that under certain conditions the distribution exhibits multiple peaks and we show analytically and numerically that the existence of these peaks is governed by the walker?s tendency to move forward, while the correlations between the timing of its active motion control the magnitude and shape of the peaks. In particular, we find that in a homogeneous system such peaks can occur only if the persistence is strong enough.}, language = {en} }
