Abstract
A hopping model described by Katz, Lebowitz, and Spohn [J. Stat. Phys. 34, 497 (1983)] and by Valles and Marro [J. Stat. Phys. 43, 441 (1986)] is studied analytically for small lattice systems. The dependence of the nonequilibrium steady state on various parameters and transition rate functions is obtained exactly. The results are compared with simulations on large systems.
