Smooth or shock: Universality in closed inhomogeneous driven single file motions

We study the nonequilibrium steady states in a unidirectional or driven single file motion (DSFM) of a collection of particles with hard-core repulsion in a closed system. For driven propulsion that is spatially smoothly varying with a few discontinuities, we show that the steady states are broadly...
