Rigidity plays an important role on the relaxation properties of glass forming melts, yet it is usually determined from the average co-ordination number through the chemical composition. A discussion is presented on how viscoelasticity can…
We develop a new method for proving hypocoercivity for a large class of linear kinetic equations with only one conservation law. Local mass conservation is assumed at the level of the collision kernel, while transport involves a confining…
