Hydrodynamics for asymmetric simple exclusion on a finite segment with Glauber-type source

We consider an open interacting particle system on a finite lattice. The particles perform asymmetric simple exclusion and are randomly created or destroyed at all sites, with rates that grow rapidly near the boundaries. We study the hydrodynamic limit for the particle density at the hyperbolic space-time scale and obtain the entropy solution to a boundary-driven quasilinear conservation law with a source term. Different from the usual boundary conditions introduced in Bardos et al (Commun Partial Differ Equ 4(9):1017–1034, 1979) and Otto (C R Acad Sci Paris 322(1):729–734, 1996), discontinuity (boundary layer) does not formulate at the boundaries due to the strong relaxation scheme.
