The East Process
ffl ffl ffl ffl
Parameter 0 ! p ! 1. Equivalent descriptions:
ffl ! ffl ffl rate p
ffl ffl ! ffl rate 1 \Gamma p:
or: each particle, after exponential(1) random
time, sends a ``pulse'' to site on its East; that
site is reset via
P(occupied) = p; P(unoccupied) = 1 \Gamma p:
Process is time­reversible, stationary distribu­
tion i.i.d. Bernoulli(p).
Seek to quantify the heuristic observation
