Nonequilibrium phases. (Left) Motor density ${\rho }_R\left(x\right)$ on MT with rightward-moving motors. (Right) Total motor density ${\rho }_R\left(x\right)+{\rho }_L\left(x\right)$ on both MTs in the overlap. The parameters comprise the reference parameter set of Table 1 with a bulk motor concentration of 200 nM, except for the switching rates, which are 0.5 s⁻¹ for the LHLH curve and 0.1 s⁻¹ for all other curves and the boundary conditions, as noted below. (LHLH) low density-high density-low density-high density coexistence (α = 0.3, β = 0.9, orange). (H_n) High-density center-minimum phase ($\alpha =0.95$, $\beta =0.99$, light blue). (H_x) High-density center-maximum phase (α = 0.6, β = 0.95, dark blue). (LH_x) Low-density/high-density center-maximum coexistence (α = 0.3, β = 0.95, green). (M) Meissner phase α = 0.6, β = 0.4, yellow). (L_n) Low-density center-minimum phase (α = 0.3, β = 0.4, black). (LH_n) Low-density/high-density center-minimum coexistence (α = 0.1, β = 0.95, magenta). (L_x) Low-density center-maximum phase (α = 0.05, β = 0.1, red). To see this figure in color, go online.
