Nonequilibrium statistical mechanics of the zero-range process and application to networks

In this thesis a simple, stochastic, interacting particle system – the zero-range process (ZRP) – is studied with various analytical and numerical methods. in particular, the application of the ZRP and some of its generalisations to complex networks is focused upon. The ZRP is a hopping particle mod...
