An exactly solvable model for driven dissipative systems

Statistical Mechanics 2007-05-23 v4

Abstract

We introduce a solvable stochastic model inspired by granular gases for driven dissipative systems. We characterize far from equilibrium steady states of such systems through the non-Boltzmann energy distribution and compare different measures of effective temperatures. As an example we demonstrate that fluctuation-dissipation relations hold, however with an effective temperature differing from the effective temperature defined from the average energy.
