The results were compared with those for a Bose-Hubbard model for the same range of densities and characteristic parameters. Both diagrams were found to be qualitatively similar in the regime in which a one-band Hubbard model is adequate, that comparison being poorer when this condition is not fulfilled. %K Bosonic hard rods %K Optical lattices %~
