## Abstract

We study the formation of localized shocks in one-dimensional driven diffusive systems with spacially homogeneous creation and annihilation of particles (Langmuir kinetics).We show how to obtain hydrodynamic equations which describe the density profile in systems with uncorrelated steady state as well as in those exhibiting correlations. As a special example of the latter case the Katz-Lebowitz-Spohn model is considered. The existence of a localized double density shock is demonstrated for the first time in one-dimensional driven diffusive systems. This corresponds to phase separation into regimes of three distinct densities, separated by localized domain walls. Our analytical approach is supported by Monte-Carlo simulations.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
