摘要

We consider totally asymmetric attractive zero-range processes with bounded jump rates on Z. In order to obtain a lower bound for the large deviations from the hydrodynamical limit of the empirical measure, we perturb the process in two ways. We first choose a finite number of sites and slowdown the jump rate at these sites. We prove a hydrodynamical limit for this perturbed process and show the appearance of Dirac measures on the sites where the rates are slowed down. The second type of perturbation consists of choosing a finite number of particles and making them jump at a slower rate. In these cases the hydrodynamical limit is described by nonentropy weak solutions of quasilinear first-order hyperbolic equations. These two results prove that the large deviations for asymmetric processes with bounded jump rates are of order at least e(-CN). All these results can be translated to the context of totally asymmetric simple exclusion processes where a finite number of particles or a finite number of holes jump at a slower rate.
