Driven lattice gases: new perspectives Original Research Article

We report analytical studies of a series of driven systems: the driven lattice gas model, the randomly driven lattice gas, the two-temperature model and the driven bi-layer lattice gas. All of them are described within a unified framework that preserves the dynamical specifications present at the discrete level. Thus, we provide a set of Langevin equations for these driven systems that illustrate how some microscopic details can affect the macroscopic properties.
