Hydrodynamic speed convergence for the liquid bin model

Let p1++pN=1p_1+\dots+p_N=1, let a1,,aN>0a_1,\ldots,a_N>0, and for s1/a1s\geq 1/a_1 let X(s)X^{(s)} be the infinite bin model with move distribution μ(s)=i=1Npiδsai\mu^{(s)}=\sum_{i=1}^N p_i\delta_{\lfloor s a_i\rfloor}. Assume that the rescaled initial configurations X(s)(0)/sX^{(s)}(0)/s converge to a liquid-bin configuration x(0)x(0), so that the rescaled processes X(s)(st)/sX^{(s)}(\lfloor st\rfloor)/s converge to the liquid bin model with parameters a1,,aN,p1,,pNa_1,\ldots,a_N,p_1,\ldots,p_N. Speed convergence conjecture. As ss goes to infinity, the speed of the rescaled infinite bin model X(s)(st)X^{(s)}(\lfloor st\rfloor) converges to the speed of the liquid bin model with parameters a1,,aN,p1,,pNa_1,\ldots,a_N,p_1,\ldots,p_N. The hydrodynamic-limit theorem establishes convergence of the trajectories on compact time intervals, but speed convergence is identified as an important missing property and remains open.
