Abstract
Recently, a tremendous amount of works has been performed to investigate properties of granular gas (see [Goldhirsch 2003] for a review). This problem is fundamental because it is a frontier of statistical mechanics when dissipation becomes dominant; hence it asks the problem of what dissipation changes in the behavior of a statistical ensemble of particles in interaction: within which limits can one use the analogue of thermodynamics concepts to describe the behavior of these systems?
