Phase transitions in the time synchronization model

Abstract

We continue the study of the time synchronization model from arXiv:1201.2141 . There are two types $i=1,2$ of particles on the line $R$, with $N_{i}$ particles of type $i$. Each particle of type $i$ moves with constant velocity $v_{i}$. Moreover, any particle of type $i=1,2$ jumps to any particle of type $j=1,2$ with rates $N_{j}^{-1}\alpha_{ij}$. We find phase transitions in the clusterization (synchronization) behaviour of this system of particles on different time scales $t=t(N)$ relative to $N=N_{1}+N_{2}$.
