We study the hydrodynamic behaviour of the symmetric zero-range process on the finite interval \1, …, N-1\ in contact with slow reservoirs at the boundary. Particles are injected and removed at sites 1 and N-1 at rates that scale like N-θ with θ≥1. Under mild assumptions on the jump rate and the sequence of initial measures, we show that the empirical density evolves on the diffusive scale according to a nonlinear heat equation, with boundary conditions reflecting the strength of the reservoirs.
