Abstract
We study a one-dimensional totally asymmetric simple exclusion process with one special site from which particles fly to any empty site (not just to the neighboring site). The system attains a nontrivial stationary state with a density profile varying over the spatial extent of the system. The density profile undergoes a nonequilibrium phase transition when the average density passes through the critical value -1[4 (1-ln 2)]-1=0.185277, viz., in addition to the discontinuity in the vicinity of the special site, a shock wave is formed in the bulk of the system when the density exceeds the critical density.
