Abstract
An ‘interacting particle system’ can be informally described as a Markov process consisting of countably many pure-jump processes that interact by modifying each other’s transition rates. Each individual pure-jump process in such a system is located at a ‘site’ and has state space {0,1,2,...,n}. The state of the pure-jump process at a given site is the number of ‘particles’ at that site, with n being the maximum particle number.
