Abstract

In their paper Cohen and Rondoni severely question the physical relevance of studies of transport by means of multibaker maps and other classes of dynamics considering the motion of independen particles - like e.g. the Lorentz gas. We argue that this is to a large extent due to inappropriate interpretation of the models. In particular, the arguments concerning the lack of local thermodynamic equilibrium are inconsistent for the models previously worked out by ourselves.
