Abstract
We analytically study the one-dimensional asymmetric simple exclusion process with open boundaries under sublattice-parallel updating scheme. We investigate the stationary state properties of this model conditioned on finding a given particle number in the system. Recent numerical investigations have shown that the model possesses three different phases in this case. Using a matrix product method we calculate both the exact canonical partition function and also density profiles of the particles in each phase. Application of the Yang–Lee theory reveals that the model undergoes two second-order phase transitions at critical points. These results confirm the correctness of our previous numerical studies.
